International and captain of the Super Eagles, Sunday Oliseh
|
The Nigeria Football Federation has
confirmed the appointment of former midfielder and captain Sunday Oliseh as the
coach of the national team.
Oliseh
takes over from another former captain, Stephen Keshi, who was fired this month
for breaching his contract by applying to be Ivory Coast coach.
Nigeria24 report continues:
The
NFF says Oliseh would be presented later Wednesday at the National Stadium in
Abuja. He flew into Nigeria on Tuesday and met with NFF officials, after which
the executive committee approved his appointment. The NFF didn't give contract
details.
Oliseh
played for Nigeria from 1993-2002, winning the African Cup of Nations in 1994
and Olympic gold in 1996.
NFF general secretary
Mohammed Sanusi says "it is imperative that Oliseh starts work
immediately" with 2017 African Cup qualifying resuming in early September.
