Ahead of the important Russia 2018 World Cup qualifier between the Super Eagles of Nigeria and Zambia next month, Super Eagles head coach Salisu Yusuf has revealed that he gets on well with the Foreign Technical adviser of the Super Eagles, Gernot Rohr even though he's 'an old man'.
'Our relationship is very good, very good,'' He told Linda Ikeji's Blog 'You know he's an old man, he tries to go along with everybody and brings everybody together which is good so he brings his experience'
Salisu also revealed that he hasn't yet signed a contract with the NFF, but he isn't worried as it's just a matter of 'when' rather than 'if'.
'The NFF lawyer wasn't around, my contract situation will soon be resolved, i don't know the length of the contract but it should be like that of the white man'- Salisu revealed to LIB.
When asked if he had problems or clash of interests with the foreign assistants Gernot Rohr brought to Nigeria to work with, he rejected the notion.
'They are good guys, everyone minds his job, minds his business, we are working together as a chain but everyone has his own job to achieve our target. I have no problem with them'
Salisu also stated that he believed Nigeria will do well against Zambia next month.
'Look at the caliber of players we invited, 80 percent of the players play regularly for their foreign clubs, so we hope to do well against Zambia' 'We will be ready.
