Coach Salisu Yusuf Caught On Tape Receiving Bribe To Field Players (Video)
Ladies and gentlemen, meet the new face of corruption, Nigeria’s Super Eagles chief coach, Salisu Yusuf.
Salisu Yusuf was caught on camera taking cash from men posing as football agents to two Nigerian players in a video published by BBC Africa Eye.
Following this despicable act of corruption, Salisu Yusuf is set to face the combined wrath of FIFA, CAF and the NFF.
Yusuf, who is the chief coach of the Super Eagles, and first assistant during the World Cup, is due to lead the national team to the Olympics in 2020. He was in charge of the Super Eagles Team B to the 2017 WAFU and 2018 CHAN where they lost in both finals.
The supposed football agents for some players approached Yusuf in September 2017 for a conversation about players’ selection. During the conversation, they handed the Nigerian coach N360, 000 ($1000) and alluded to more cash incentives if he selects their players for CHAN 2018 which held in Morocco.
