I Almost Died While Coaching The Super Eagles’ – Sunday Oliseh by Ejovwoke(m): 11:59am On Jul 25, 2016
Former Super Eagles coach, Sunday Oliseh has
made a stunning revelations about how he
almost lost his life while coaching the Nigerian
national team.
Oliseh resigned in February after only seven
months on the job citing unpaid salaries and
poor working conditions as reasons for leaving
the job.
Oliseh said he had quite a difficult time with the
Nigeria Football Federation, with some senior
players like Mikel Obi, Vincent Enyeama and
Victor Moses.
Speaking of his near-death experience, he said
“One day whilst coaching the Super Eagles in
Abuja stadium prior to the Burkina Faso game,
all of a sudden I felt dizziness, light headedness,
headache and could barely stand. I managed to
finish the session before calling on the doctor
into my room who was clueless to what was
happening.

“From then on it was sleepless nights, loss of
appetite, high blood pressure and before I knew
it I started losing weight.
“After several visits to doctors abroad nothing
was found though the doctors found anomalies
they couldn’t pin point the actual illness to.
“For weeks I was bed ridden, lost 7 kilos and
could barely walk 5 metres without sitting down.
My family was petrified and all feared the
worst. One thing was for sure though: had I not
taken that evening flight to Germany when I did,
there was a strong possibility of a far worse
outcome. Thank God for his mercies.”
Oliseh also criticized the NFF President, Amaju
Pinnick, insisting the FA boss made many false
claims regarding the welfare package of the
coach, a situation which almost made him a
scapegoat for kidnappers.

When a chronic failure wants to give an excuse, they should consult Oliseh. He's the Grand Commander of the Failure Republic. (GCFR).
