As stated by a source, El Kanemi Warriorsn Salisu Yusuf is expected to be named the new assistant coach to Stephen Keshi, as the boss prepares to return as the Super Eagles' technical helmsman. Yusuf worked as one of the assistants to previous Eagles' gaffer, Samson Siasia. He is expected to take the place of Daniel Amokachi in the Keshi-led technical crew. As stated by sources close to the Nigeria Football Federation, the previous Ranchers Bees mercurial midfielder earlier speculated as a possible replacement for Amokachi will be in charge of the home-based Super Eagles team that would prepare for the CHAN 2016 qualifiers. It is believed that the leadership at the Glass House wants a coach from the core northern part of the country, to balance the national character quota. There have been reports lately that Keshi is the one who wants Amokachi out, however, the Super Eagles' camp has denied it.
