CHAN Eagles coach Salisu Yusuf has revealed that originally he did not wish to be a coach after injury cut short a promising playing career.
However, his successful stint with hometown club Nasara FC of Zaria would later change this position.
“I was only working out on the same pitch with Nasara after injury ended my career, before I later started training the team,” recounted Salisu Yusuf, who will be 56 on Wednesday.
“We will go on to win the Kaduna State FA Cup and afterwards there was no going back for me.”
Former Ranch Bees and El Kanemi Warriors midfielder Yusuf has since handled Enyimba, Kano Pillars, El Kanemi, Lobi Stars and FC Taraba
