Burkina Faso national team coach Gernot Rohr has abruptly quit his job and opted to return home to take up a new post with the German football association. The German tactician said in a statement that he was leaving for 'professional and personal reasons'.  The 62-year-old last month saw Burkina Faso through the first phase of the African zone of the 2018 World Cup qualifiers. He has spent just 10 months in Burkina Faso, where there has been a tenuous political situation and civil unrest. Rohr previously coached Gabon, Niger and Tunisian club Etoile Sahel among others.
