The new Bafana Bafana coach has roped in Manchester United scout spying on the Nigerian squad in Paris for him to set up his stall from the clash set to take place next month in Uyo.
“I’ve had probably three days away from SuperSport, where I have put my Bafana hat on, and I’ve gained some intelligence on Nigeria‚” said Baxter.
“I’ve got the Manchester United scout who’s helping us in Paris. Nigeria are playing Corsica at the Ajaccio Stadium in Corsica‚ and against Togo in Paris – and they’re being watched there.
“I’ll get reports on that. I’ve got video footage‚ I’ve got reports‚ I’ve got the coach’s [Gernot Rohr] background. So by the time we come to the event, we’ll be quite well-prepared.”
