Nigeria confirms Yusuf as Eagles interim coach

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) on Thursday confirmed the appointment of Salisu Yusuf as interim Head Coach of the country's national football team, Super Eagles.


The decision was reached at the federation's Technical and Development Committee meeting held at the NFF secretariat in Abuja on Wednesday.


The coach who worked with Stephen Keshi and Sunday Oliseh while in charge of the team as assistant, will be assisted in his new role by Imama Amapakabor (1st Assistant), Kennedy Boboye (2nd Assistant) and Alloy Agu (Goalkeeper Trainer).

The technical crew will only take charge of the upcoming international friendly matches involving the Super Eagles and Mali and Luxembourg in Europe.

"After the friendly matches, and before the 2018 FIFA World Cup group phase draw, the Technical Committee will initiate the process for the selection of a substantive technical crew for the Super Eagles, with a Head Coach.

"A small team of eminently –qualified persons with the required pedigree will take charge of the process, and the best candidate would be selected, irrespective of whether he is indigenous or expatriate," the statement from NFF spokesman Ademola Olajire added.
