“I don’t know why Amapakabo has been removed. I worked very well with him. He did a very good job with me.

“I regret his departure. But since the NFF have the right to take this decision, there is nothing that I can do about it.”

On Yobo’s appointment, the Franco-German did not mince his words : “I have the responsibility to develop
coaches from Nigeria as agreed with NFF. I am more than happy to do that.

“Joseph Yobo is welcome to the team, of course. I have heard that he has no coaching diplomas, so I will talk to
him, about this.

“If what I have heard is correct, I will tell Yobo that he needs to do the training required, to grow as a coach.”

Yobo’s first assignment as assistant coach of the Super Eagles will be against Sierra Leone in an Africa Cup of
Nations qualifier next month.
