“ Some of the best results the team has under Rohr was with Salisu as assistant. He trust his judgment when it comes to reading games, formations and also decision on players.
“ Rohr won’t mind to have Imama Amapakabo back because just like Salisu they are people that he trust and can vouch for their loyalty. Imama can’t return for obvious reason but Salisu is a huge possibility”, he concluded.
