Ex-Nigeria super eagles captain Sunday Oliseh resign as coach of the national team.
After his sudden resignation as the head coach of super eagles Oliseh further disclosed the real reason why he resigned from his post adding that the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) tried to hire two-time AFCON winning coach Herve Renard for the team.
Speaking after his resignation, Oliseh said:
“They had their motives and what I did was in the best interest of the country. “While I was coach of the team they tried Renard who turned them down citing three major reasons.
“When I sought their aid to effectively carry out my duties I was ignored and instead of helping me get the players to give their best and placing them in a very good condition at an advantage to the team play, they had plans to derail the progress of the team’s chances. “The most important objective is for the Super Eagles of Nigeria to qualify to the next AFCON and the World Cup 2018,” he concluded.
Sunday Oliseh’s Resignation Letter:
Dear General Secretary of NFF,
Object: Letter of Resignation.
Due to incessant violations of our signed agreement (Contract) I am hereby informing you to terminate our working collaboration signed in July 2015.
The most important objective is for the Super Eagles of Nigeria to qualify for the next AFCON and the World Cup 2018. Since so little help is being rendered me in getting the players to give their best and very vital conditions and advantages to the team play are also being sacrificed coupled with non redress of the aforementioned despite my several e-mails and others, seeking your aid to effectively carry out my duties were ignored.
These unconducive working conditions that my coaching crew and myself have to live with, your contractual violations and the interest of the nation necessitates that I tender my resignation and recourse to the termination of our working agreement.
Many thanks for the opportunity to serve my fatherland.
Sunday Oliseh,
Chief Coach Super Eagles of Nigeria
