There are very strong indications that former Enyimba and Kano Pillars coach Salisu Yusuf is likely to replace Daniel Amokachi as Eagles assistant coach.
Amokachi assisted Stephen Keshi in his initial Eagles contract, which elapsed after last year’s World Cup in Brazil. However, it appears there is now a crack in the relationship between Amokachi, who
was in temporary charge of the national team, and his boss Keshi.
Amokachi shockingly told top NFF officials he did not pick the squad for last month’s friendlies against Uganda and South Africa.
Salisu was until recently coach of Nigeria Premier League El Kanemi Warriors, but he has not returned to the Maiduguri club for this season as he is reportedly owed over six million Naira.
He was last year appointed Eagles coach to assist Shuaibu Amodu, when Keshi was initially asked to step aside.
Salisu, who has assisted Samson Siasia at both the Flying eagles and Super Eagles, is now expected to combine his job as assistant Eagles coach and tinkering the home-based team for next year’s CHAN.
