The Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, has
confirmed that former Nigeria international
football player, Sunday Oliseh will coach the
Super Eagles with a team that will include a
Dutch man as an assistant.
A manager close to Oliseh in Europe, confirmed
this on Wednesday that the former Eagles captain
had accepted the job offer and would work with
an assistant from Europe.
He said,
“I can confirm that Sunny has accepted the
offer and he will be working with an assistant
coming down from Europe as well.”
On Wednesday, the NFF confirmed they were in
talks with the Belgium-based Nigerian to replace
Stephen Keshi, who was kicked out as Eagles
coach on Saturday. Oliseh met with NFF president
Amaju Pinnick and Austin Jay Jay Okocha in
London on Tuesday.
The NFF added that Oliseh would come with a
“foreign technical assistant, whose job description
will centre around development programmes, and
working with clubs’ youth teams and certified
academies towards developing the game from the
grassroots.
“Current stand-in coach Salisu Yusuf will also be
in the new team, but with greater devotion to the
home-based team, otherwise known as Super
Eagles B, and will be the interface between the
technical crew and the home boys.”
From the details of the package being finalised,
Oliseh is expected to come up with a five-year
developmental plan “to fashion a unique playing
and coaching philosophy for all the national
teams, and will for this purpose, interface
regularly with coaches of those teams.
