Former Super Eagles captain, Joseph Yobo is eyeing a return to coaching, Prompt News reports.
Yobo worked briefly as an assistant in the Super Eagles under Gernot Rohr and Austine Eguavoen.
The former defender has not been considered for coaching role by the Nigeria Football Football Federation since leaving the role in 2022.
Yobo however said is open to making a return to the national team again.
“My life doesn’t depend on coaching, but if I don’t go back to coaching, I believe Nigeria missed something.
“Everyone who knows me knows my passion for the game, I put my heart into it,”he told Brila FM.
“I learnt a lot from Gernot Rohr, but mostly under Eguavoen. They didn’t allow me to follow through so they could see what I had learned and how I could impact the players.
“I haven’t shut the door on coaching, but it’s not my top priority. They need to change the way they treat our local coaches.
“That was the only reason I didn’t want to join while I was still playing, even though I had the opportunity to see how it works.”
