Barau FC has announced the appointment of Salisu Yusuf as their new Technical Adviser. This move marks a significant step for the club as they prepare for the upcoming season in the Nigerian National League (NNL).
The announcement was made via a statement signed by the club’s media officer, Ahmad Hamisu Gwale. According to the statement, Yusuf has signed a one-year contract at the club’s secretariat. The contract was finalized in the presence of the club’s Chairman, Ambassador Ibrahim Shittu Chanji.
Salisu Yusuf brings a wealth of experience to Barau FC, a factor the club hopes will be instrumental in their development and success in the new season. Yusuf’s extensive background in football includes notable stints with several prominent Nigerian clubs. He has previously managed Kano Pillars, Enyimba FC, El-Kanemi Warriors, and Enugu Rangers in the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL). His track record in these roles underscores his deep understanding of the game and his commitment to fostering excellence in football.
In addition to his domestic coaching career, Yusuf has also made significant contributions at the national level. He served as an assistant coach under Stephen Keshi for the Nigerian senior national team, and later took on a similar role when the Super Eagles were led by interim coaches. His most notable achievement came with the Home-based Super Eagles, where he led the team to the finals of the 2018 Africa Nations Championship (CHAN) held in Morocco.
As Barau FC gears up for the new NNL season, they are also set to participate in the Gusau/Ahlan Pre-season tournament in Jos, Plateau State, later this month. This pre-season tournament will serve as a critical preparation phase for the club as they aim to build momentum and refine their strategies under Yusuf’s guidance.
The appointment of Yusuf is seen as a strategic move by Barau FC, aiming to leverage his vast experience and tactical expertise to enhance the team’s performance and prospects in the upcoming season.
