Former Super Eagles captain and AFCON 2013 winner: Joseph Yobo has highlighted what he will bring to the team as Gernot Rohr’s assistant coach.
Joseph Yobo, who had 101 appearances for the Super Eagles was appointed assistant coach by the Nigeria Football Federation in February but hasn’t featured on the sidelines due to the cancellation of the AFCON 2021 qualifiers by CAF as a result of the Coronavirus Pandemic.

While speaking to Nigeria Info FM Portharcout, Yobo said he will be adding his play management skills to the team not necessarily tactics.
According to his words:
“I bring in my experience, I am going to bring in belief, I am going to be an interface between the players.
“One thing people don’t understand my time as the captain, a lot of things that happened behind the scenes players don’t want to talk about because they’ll be a scapegoat.
“We have somebody else, Gernot Rohr, he’s the tactician, he’s the head coach. I am assisting him in things that maybe he might not see, I’m working under him, I’m not the head coach,”
