His future is still uncertain with the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) still contemplating hiring a foreign coach for the team.
Adepoju has however backed his former international teammate for the top job.
“I would rate him very well. Number one, we’ve qualified for the AFCON, which is one of the objectives,” he told Brila FM.
“I would say he has done well and is still doing well.
“They should keep encouraging him. I believe he’s getting things done, I will rate him high, let just keep supporting him.”
