Coaches are mostly hired and fired based on results and that is the reason why one of the assistants of the coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Jose Peseiro has been shown the exit door.
Relegated Nigeria Professional Football League side Kano Pillars yesterday announced Evans Ogenyi as the new coach of the team replacing Salisu Yusuf, who is one of the assistants of Peseiro.
Yusuf who also doubles as the coach of the Nigeria home based team and the U23 was the one at the helm when the team were relegated last season. He was brought in to help them become title contenders but it ended the other way round.
His continual stay with the senior national team as second assistant has also come under public scrutiny owing to the fact that he has three national team jobs , few years after he was caught on tape collecting cash from reporters who posed as football agents, representing two players in his home base team.
So far he has only succeeded with the U23 as the home based team failed to get past Ghana hence missed out on a spot in the CHAN championship. The U23s are through to the next round of qualifiers for the AFCON but allegations of bribe taking is rocking the team.
