Former Super Eagles coach , Sunday Oliseh , has sensationally disclosed that he will never coach the country ’s national team again , even if he was handed the opportunity a second time .
Oliseh , who had a total of 52 caps for the Eagles , scoring two goals between 1993 and 2002 , managed the national team between 2015 and 2016 , before quitting unceremoniously due to unresolved issues with the Nigeria Football Federation , including unpaid salaries .
In an Instagram live video chat with
The PUNCH , the former Borussia Dortmund and Ajax midfielder said he would never coach the Eagles again .
“No , I don ’t have the intention of ever coaching the ( Super) Eagles again . I loved working with the boys , I love coaching my country , but the atmosphere around it was no longer healthy .
“I didn ’ t want the job anymore . Health -wise I was not feeling too good ; secondly, we were owed salaries . I was spending money on my health and on my team . I just couldn ’t die on the job .
“Truth is , we have a foreign coach now and from what I heard and know , he is being paid four times the wages Stephen Keshi and I were paid and these are two players ( himself and Keshi ) who won trophies for Nigeria .
“I ’ve never heard Gernot Rohr complain about wages . Keshi , while he was coaching , was always complaining, when I was coaching for four months , I was unpaid , for six months my assistants were unpaid , so I had to leave the job ; we were also being frustrated. ”
Oliseh stated that he had plans to take the team to the next level before he parted ways with his employers , the NFF.
