Nigeria ban on coach for taking cash
Print Edition
THE Nigeria soccer federation has banned a senior coach of its national team for a year for accepting US$1,000 from an undercover reporter who posed as an agent and wanted certain players selected in the squad.
Salisu Yusuf, who has the title of Nigeria chief coach under technical director Gernot Rohr, was also ordered to pay a fine of US$5,000.
Yusuf was Rohr’s most senior assistant at the World Cup in Russia and took sole charge of Nigeria at the African Nations Championship earlier this year. It was before that tournament in January and February that he was approached and given money to select two players, defender Osas Okoro and midfielder Rabiu Ali.
The two were selected but the federation said there was no evidence the money influenced Yusuf’s decision because they were expected to make the squad anyway.
The federation said yesterday that Yusuf made “a conscious and deliberate decision” to accept a cash gift, which is prohibited.
