Coach Sunday Oliseh has fired a warning, stating
that he will only consider players who feature in
top leagues both home and abroad.
Stephen Keshi, however was known to call up
players from the lower leagues overseas. Sunday
Oliseh said he wants to make changes and not do
the same thing Stephen Keshi did. He said:
“If you are not playing in first division in
anywhere in the world and in Nigeria, you
cannot play for the Super Eagles henceforth,”
Oliseh warned at a media presentation in Abuja
on Wednesday. However players coming from the
under-aged teams are the only exception to this
rule.”
Oliseh said it is an honour to lead the Eagles now
as a coach, but that he cannot turn around the
footballing fortunes of the country by himself.
“It’s a great honour to be a coach of this
nation,” he said.
“First of all, I am not coming as a Messiah. I
am not coming as a man who can single
handedly turn Nigeria to Germany.
“I am coming in to do my best and give if
possible 150% all the time.
“The state we are now in Nigeria I think we
are all not happy with. Gone are the days we
have individual players who can single
handedly win a match for you. But we have
the potentials and that is our belief and the
players must know that it’s an honour to be
invited to the national team.
