He was a very good assistant. But NFF decided to change so I have to accept, and I accept. I see that this person now is in a good spirit and I am happy about it. There will not be any problem in our staff.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think it only could be so easy to say let&#8217;s do two years more. Nothing special from my side that I want more. So it could be very easy.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We spoke together; he gave me a first call and then I called him back and we are in touch regularly. I even asked him to help me already because I cannot move for the moment to take connections and contact our players in Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I asked him to meet and speak with Ikechukwu Ezenwa, with Ifeanyi Ifeanyi who was with us for one of the last games.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There is also Samuel Kalu, who is also in Lagos because he was able to take one of the last planes out of France.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So I asked him to be in touch with some of our players who are in Nigeria, and that is what he did.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am happy to see that he has good motivation and is in good spirits and I think we can have a good working relationship together.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa Press-Nigeria: The 66-year-old German tactician is impressed with the attitude of the former Nigeria international Nigeria coach Gernot Rohr is looking to have a good working relationship with his new assistant Joseph Yobo and has praised him for his motivation.
