I Resigned Because NFF Didn't Take Eagles Seriously-Oliseh by Nnabugwu8590: 4:17pm On Feb 27, 2016
Sunday Oliseh, former Super Eagles Chief
Coach, has shed more lights on why he
resigned his position, barely a month to the
crucial Africa Nations Cup (AFCON) double
header against Egypt.
In a brief chat with Super Sports, the former
captain of the side said he decided to coach
the team on account of the love he has for
the country, but admitted that the nation’s
football house does not take the business
of the team seriously.
“I resigned because the NFF have refused to
take the business of the Super Eagles
seriously. We have two games against Egypt
shortly and I have requested time and again
for technical reports from the NFF so as to
prepare, I did not receive any
“I consequently followed up with several
emails, still no response. And this is their
general practice, so I finally realized they do
not actually care about the qualifiers, Super
Eagles or our tournaments.”
Oliseh lamented that his players were not
paid, including his backroom staff, which
made their morale to drop.
“My players, staff and I have not been paid
our entitlements; as I speak to you, my bank
is yet to receive payment from my erstwhile
employers. Some of my former staff and
players are being owed six months. What
then will motivate these players?
“I have not been paid for eight months.
Players bonuses, daily expenses, gear for
the National Team, Staff allowances for
food, transportation, daily expenses for me
and my players, nothing has come. In short
I’ve been mostly spending my money on all
these things.
“How can a Nation as big and blessed as
ours, day-in-day-out and from time
immemorial not have the sense to finance
her pride – namely the Super Eagles?”

The reality is, if you want to do a decent job, dont take super eagles job under this present NFF. Personally, I wont. Steven Kechi hvae to take a lot of poo. Siasia will have to swallow worms of different species. The only respect I have for this dude Oliseh is that, he called it quit instead of taking all those poos for the sake of working. Any coach that is sure of himself will not work under this board. But Sia and co will accept even if they keep cheating them.

My type is do your work let me do my own. NFF has very incompetent board.
