By Obaseki Anthony on November 28, 2019

The Enugu State Government has approved and accepted the technical assistance offered by Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) for the state-owned Rangers International FC.As a result, Super Eagles Chief Coach Salisu Yusuf assumed duties on Wednesday, November 27, 2019 with the ‘Flying Antelopes’.

Coach Salisu was introduced to players of the CAF Confederation Cup 2019/2020 hopefuls after their afternoon training session, by the General Manager, Prince Davidson Owumi in the presence of Enugu State Youth & Sports commissioner, Hon. Vitus Okechi and other club officials. He was introduced to the players with former Delta Force FC gaffer Mbwas Mangut, who will be assisting the former Enyimba and Kano Pillars manager on the task of putting smiles back on the faces of the millions of fans all over the world after three straight defeats in the NPFL led to the suspension of the Benedict Ugwu-led technical crew on Sunday.

“I am here on a technical assistance because the team, Rangers International FC, is representing the country in the CAF Confederation Cup and circumstances on the ground led to the federation assigning me here.

“I am always positive. We want to take the team to the next level from where they are now. “We know it is not going to be easy.

“We need to change some things but is going to be a gradual process,” Salisu Yusuf said.

On his immediate task which is the first game of the group stage of the second tier continental club competition against 2018/2019 Egyptian cup winners, Pyramids FC, he said: “Positively, we are hoping for a better result. We are going to work very hard in the next two days to see where to improve the team but not necessarily making so many changes.”

Speaking at the event, Commissioner for Youth & Sports, Hon. Vitus Okechi, said: “We are indeed glad to have Salisu Yusuf here to handle the team.

“We have good players on ground but the problem was the technical leadership and we know that with the man on ground now, we will be able to move the team forward.

“The NFF called us after last Sunday NPFL loss in Enugu and their interest in seeing that Rangers goes as far as the final of CAF Confederation cup offered to give us technical assistance by sending the Super Eagles chief coach.”
