Sunday Oliseh has resigned as the
Head Coach of the Nigerian football
national team, the Super Eagles, just
over seven months after he was
appointed.
Oliseh, who announced his resignation
on Twitter, said he took the decision
due to the inability of the Nigeria
Football Federation, NFF, to honour
the terms of his contract.
“Due to contract violations, lack of
support, unpaid wages, benefits to my
players, assistant coaches and myself,
I resign as Super Eagles Chief Coach,”
he tweeted.
He thanked Nigerians for the
opportunity of serving as the coach of
the team in a preceding tweet before
announcing his resignation.
“I feel fortunate, blessed and eternally
grateful for having the honour to play,
captain and coach this great nation of
ours, Nigeria.”
Oliseh, whose appointment was made
with much fanfare by the NFF, soon
started having problems with the
executives of the federation over
remuneration, match tactics and
results.
His complaint about being owed was
not well received by the NFF, which
rather threatened to sanction him.
