Former Super Eagles captain, Joseph Yobo, has been named as the assistant coach of the Nigerian national football team by the Nigeria Football Federation - NFF.

Yobo's appointment comes after Imama Amapakabo was shown the exit door.

The Everton legend captained the Super Eagles to a triumphant outing at the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa, and will now assist Gernot Rohr.

An NFF statement read: “The Nigeria Football Federation has appointed former Super Eagles’ defender and captain Joseph Yobo as assistant coach of the team. He replaces Imama Amapakabo in the three-time African champions’ technical crew."

Yobo graduated to the Super Eagles after representing the country at the U20 level during the 1999 Fifa U20 World Cup.
