The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has advised Super Eagles caretaker coach, Salisu Yusuf, to perish the thought of becoming Super Eagles substantive manager.
A top official of the soccer federation told Daily SunSports yesterday that Yusuf clearly lacks what it takes to manage the Eagles.
“It surprises me why Yusuf should be dissipating his energy and resources lobbying to become the substantive coach of the Super Eagles. Put him side by side with the foreign coaches with high CVs that have applied for the job. He is certainly not in their class.
“Yusuf has shown keen interest in the job, but it will take a miracle for him to get it.
“If I were him, I would concentrate all my energies in lobbying for the assistant position because as far as the head coach is concerned, he cannot be the person to step into it. He lacks the credentials.
“The truth is that no Nigerian coach is the line for the job.”
The technical committee meets today in Abuja and would after their meeting release a shortlist of three foreign coaches to be interviewed for the job.
