Super
Eagles’ former coach, Sunday Oliseh, has been appointed as the new head coach
of Dutch second division club, Fortuna Sittard.
Oliseh,
who stood down as Super Eagles coach ten months ago, previously played for
Dutch giants Ajax from 1997 to 1999.
The
former Super Eagles captain will put pen to paper on a one-and-a-half year deal
with the option of a renewal for another year, according to the club’s official
website, www.fortunasittard.nl.
Oliseh
will officially resume duty with the Limburg club on January 2, 2017.
A
shareholder of the club, Isitan Gün, expressed happiness with the development,
describing Oliseh as “a young and ambitious coach that the players look up to”.
“We
chose Sunday as Fortuna (Sittard) coach because he is young and ambitious, (he
has) vision and players look up to (him).
“We
were looking for someone (that can produce) attractive football combined with
the sheer will to win.
“In
Sunday (Oliseh), we think we found this trainer.
“The
past few days he has already watched all the matches of Fortuna, so Sunday is
well prepared to begin his work on January 2,” he said.
Oliseh,
who also played for Juventus and Borussia Dortmund during his club career,
earned 63 caps for Nigeria.
He
helped the Super Eagles to win the 1994 Africa Cup of Nations and Olympic gold
in 1996.
Before
taking on the role of head coach with Nigeria, Oliseh had previously coached
Belgian lower tier side Verviétois.
He resigned from the Super Eagles, citing interference from the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).
