Yobo Vows To Bring Experience, Motivation To S’Eagles

Former Super Eagles captain and Assistant Coach, Joseph Yobo has said he would bring experience, motivation, and inspiration to the national team.
The 40-year-old was appointed Eagles’ assistant coach in February following the dismissal of Imama Amapakabo by the Nigeria Football Federation.
While many have criticised his appointment owing to lack of certification and qualification, the former Everton player believes he has what it takes to excel in the role.
“I am bringing back that motivation. As a former captain, I’m bringing inspiration. I’ve been there and I’ve done it all,” he told former Super Eagles media officer, Colin Udoh in a live Instagram chat monitored on Sunday.
“I was a fan of the team before I became an assistant coach, so I’ve seen from a fanatical point of view how people feel when they are watching the team. We as players, while playing, don’t notice these things but after my retirement, I’ve been a pundit, I’ve given my opinion about what should be done in the team.”
Yobo also added that his 15 years of experience as a top professional will be vital for the team.
