Joseph Yobo appointed as assistant football coach by NFF

Former Super Eagles captain and defender, Joseph Yobo, has been appointed by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) as assistant coach of the Nigerian football team.

The former captain who played for the Nigeria U-20 team, the Flying Eagles – during the FIFA World Youth Championship (now known as FIFA U20 World Cup) in 1999, will replace Imama Amapakabo in the technical crew of the senior men’s national team.

Joseph Yobo, who is a dedicated professional, played his club football in five countries, including sterling appearances for Olympique Marseille in the French top flight, Fenerbahce in Turkey and Everton FC in the English Premiership. He played a total of 100 matches for Nigeria at the senior level.

The 39-year-old scored several crucial goals for the Super Eagles in important qualifying matches for the FIFA World Cup and the Africa Cup of Nations. He was also among the scorers when the Eagles thrashed South Africa’s Bafana Bafana 4-0 in a group phase match in Tunisia 16 years ago.

Congratulations on your new appointment, Joseph Yobo.
