…Yusuf loses assistant role
The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), has finally chosen Paul Le Guen, as the new Super Eagles manager.
According to reports, the football house picked the Frenchman, from a three-man shortlist that included Salisu Yusuf and Tom Saintfiet.
We also learnt that the NFF will consider Yusuf as an assistant coach.
The former Kano Pillars coach had earlier said he was not interested in being second in command to anybody.
An official of the NFF said: “As it is now the position of the deputy has been thrown open because Yusuf is still insisting that he would not work as an assistant to Le Guen.
“Those who worked on their entries picked the Frenchman and with the hope that Yusuf could learn a lot from him for the immediate future but he (Yusuf) appears to have some other ideas so the federation will now have to consider a new person altogether to replace Yusuf.”
