Nigeria interim coach Salisu Yusuf plans to pay his way to follow the European Championships, which begin today in France.
The 54-year-old former Enyimba and Kano Pillars coach, who has already asked he be given the Super Eagles job on a permanent basis, said a fact-finding trip to Euros will further update his knowledge of the game.
“The coach will return to France to follow the Euros,” a source said.
“He will not wait for the NFF to send him there because he wishes to upgrade his capacity.”
Yusuf, whose favourite formation is 4-2-3-1, recently visited Scottish club Hearts on his own to understudy their workings.
He is also due to spend time to understudy new Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola.
The former Ranchers Bees and El Kanemi Warriors midfielder has impressed after he led a youthful Eagles team to beat Mali and Luxembourg in friendlies last month.
The two wins moved Nigeria six spots up in the FIFA rankings.
