Joseph Michael Yobo, Nigerian former professional footballer who played as a central defender

The President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) Amaju Pinnick has tipped Joseph Yobo to follow the footstep of Late Stephen Keshi to coach the Super Eagles in the nearest future.


Yobo was appointed as the successor of Imama Amapakabo who has left his role as the Assistant Coach to Gernot Rohr following the expiration of his contract.

Pinnick sighted Keshi as the great example who also captained the Super Eagles, won the Africa Cup Of Nations as a player, and as a coach.

"We are looking up to Yobo to manage the Super Eagles in the future and being part of the team's technical crew will give him that opportunity to coach the Super Eagles in the nearest future."

Yobo made 101 appearances for the Super Eagles, played at three World Cup, and captained the Super Eagles to the 2013 Africa Cup Of Nations (AFCON) in South Africa.
