Former Super Eagles midfielder Sunday Oliseh has stated why he resigned as coach in 2016.
In a candid interview, Oliseh revealed the immense dedication and hard work he put into his role as the Super Eagles head coach despite the challenges he faced.
Oliseh, who the Nigerian Football Federation(NFF) appointed to lead the Super Eagles in July 2015, resigned in February 2016, a decision that profoundly impacted the team.
He said he resigned because of lack of support from his employers, players and the media.
“I coached the Super Eagles for fourteen games, won four, we lost only two games. One was a friendly against Congo in Belgium.
“After being unpaid for four months, and my assistants being unpaid for six months, and after me falling sick and not getting any support, spending thousands of dollars to cure myself, and still being laughed at by some of your media friends for falling ill. I resigned because I didn’t get support.
“I left the job and Nigeria was still on track to qualify for the 2017 Nations Cup. Nigeria needed to beat Egypt and qualify,” Oliseh stated.
