“As I have been saying, I don’t work in the Technical Department neither am I a member of the Technical Committee of the Nigeria Football Federation. I allow the Coach to bring his proposal. Then we will send it to the Technical Department who will forward it to the Technical Committee, I will then work on the outcome of both
department and committee.

“So we are waiting for them (Eagles technical crew). Once Rohr brings the proposal whatever it is, I will let you know”, Sanusi told Sportinglife.ng
