Ogbeide: Why Nigerian coaches are backing embattled Salisu Yusuf

Lobi Stars coach, Solomon Ogbeide has explained that the Nigerian Coaches Association will continue to defend embattled Salisu Yusuf because it has not been proven if the Super Eagles tactician is guilty of taking a bribe.

Yusuf was caught on camera collecting a bribe from undercover journalists who pretended to be football agents.

The bribe was offered and was collected after a discussion on player selection it was reported.

The footage, shot by Ghanaian reporter Anas Aremeyaw Anas in September 2017 during the West African Football Union Unity Competition, showed Yusuf collecting cash of 1000 dollars.
