Nigeria coach Sunday Oliseh announced a
sensational resignation from the Super Eagles
job via Twitter early on Friday morning.
This comes less than 30 days before the
Eagles play two crucial Africa Cup of Nations
qualifying matches against Egypt.
After having a running battle with the Nigeria
Football Federation, critics, media and fans
following the Super Eagles early elimination
from the African Nations Championship last
month, Oliseh went on a YouTube rant that
divided the football community earlier in
February.
But no one expected him to throw in the towel
and quit the job this early even though he
looked to be unprepared for the big job
following on his antecedents.
However, Oliseh caught everyone by surprise
as he announced via social media that he
was leaving early Friday, a day after he spoke
via video about his struggles as well as hopes
for the team at a Social Media Week event in
Lagos.
“I feel fortunate, blessed and eternally grateful
for having had the honour to Play,Captain &
Coach this great Nation of ours,Nigeria,”
Oliseh began his tweets.
“Due to contract violations, lack of support,
unpaid wages, benefits to my players, Asst.
Coaches & myself, I resign as Super Eagles
Chief Coach,” thus ended his brief spell in a
turbulent Nigeria job.
