‘I will do everything to play for him’ - Onazi vows to kick on under ‘senior man’ Yobo

Ogenyi Onazi will give his all for newly appointed Nigeria assistant coach Joseph Yobo.

The three-time African champions turned to the Super Eagles legend for inspiration after Imama Amapakabo was ushered through the exit door earlier this year.

Onazi and Yobo worked together to help Nigeria win the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa, while both had a role to play in the country’s Round of 16 finish at the 2014 Fifa World Cup in Brazil.

Their last time together was during the 2-0 defeat to France inside Brasilia’s Estadio Nacional Mane Garrincha.
