Coach is the senior national team of Nigeria Gernot Rohr has told the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) his preferred choice as first assistant.
The position has been vacant since the expiration of the contract of Salisu Yusuf who was indicted in a cash for spot scandal while on national team assignment with the B team of Nigeria.
Rohr in a meeting with the NFF after the last round of international games told the football house that he wants the Enugu Rangers coach backed in his position with his suspension now over.
“ The man has made it clear that it’s Salisu Yusuf that he wants. No other name interest him. It’s Salisu or he keeps his crew the way it is at the moment. Emmanuel Amuneke has been mentioned to him but he want Salisu back”, a source told Owngoalnigeria.com.
“ Some of the best results the team has under Rohr was with Salisu as assistant. He trust his judgment when it comes to reading games, formations and also decision on players.
“ Rohr won’t mind to have Imama Amapakabo back because just like Salisu they are people that he trust and can vouch for their loyalty. Imama can’t return for obvious reason but Salisu is a huge possibility”, he concluded.
