Salisu Yusuf: NFF confirm return of Super Eagles coach after one-year ban

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) have confirmed the return of Yusuf Salisu to the national team following a year-long suspension for his involvement in a bribery incident.

Last year, Salisu was found guilty of collecting an amount of money reported to be around $1000 and was sanctioned by the NFF Ethics Committee with a fine of $5000 and a one-year ban from football-related activities.

The former Enyimba and Kano Pillars coach was caught on camera receiving money to influence his team selection for the 2017 Wafu Cup of Nations in Ghana.
