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 NFF said it reached the decision 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.
