Salisu Yusuf Will Be In Charge Of The CHAN Super ‎Eagles

Chairman Technical Committee of the Nigeria Football Federation, Christopher Green has cleared the air on Gernot Rohr's role at the home-based Super Eagles's camp in Kano, insisting he is only advising, while Salisu Yusuf is fully in charge of the team.

According to Green, Rohr is in Kano to monitor the team as well as advise the chief coach, Salisu Yusuf, through their camping and CHAN qualification matches against Benin republic. Green also confirmed the arrival of an expatriate goalkeeper trainer with Rohr, Enrico Pionetti in Kano, adding that the Italian coach will work with Aloy Agu and the four goalkeepers in camp

He said “Salisu is in charge of the home based Super Eagles. He picked the team and will decide who plays and who will not. Rohr is there on advisory role and will not take charge of the team as being touted, of course, we expect Rohr, as the national team technical adviser, to also scout for the fledgling players who could be invited to the main Super Eagles for the World Cup clash against Cameroon.”
