Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) have confirmed the
return of Super Eagles coach Salisu Yusuf who was banned from football for a
year after being found guilty
of collecting bribe.
Yusuf was
caught on camera collecting N357, 000 ($1,000) from journalists posing as
football agents who wanted him to select two players for the 2018 African Nations Championship (CHAN).
According
to a statement from the NFF, Yusuf will now continue in his position as coach
of the Super Eagles home-based side, Nigeria’s U23 side and assistant to Gernot Rohr.
Coach Imama Amapakabo who had been
acting in that capacity will not step aside.
"The Nigeria Football Federation has noted
that the Chief Coach of the Super Eagles, Salisu Yusuf has now fully served the
one–year suspension clamped on him last year," NFF's statement
reads.
"The
Federation thanked Coach Imama Amapakabo for his sterling efforts while in
charge of the U23 National Team in the absence of the suspended Yusuf, and for eventually
seeing to the team’s qualification for the U23 AFCON.
