Former technical director of the Nigeria Football Association, Kashimawo Laloko, has expressed dissatisfaction in the Nigeria Football Federation's choice of Sunday Oliseh as the Super Eagles coach.
The NFF confirmed that the federation have agreed a deal with the former Nigerian international to replace Keshi after the former Mali and Togo boss was fired due to lack of commitment to the Eagles job.
“I don’t think he has the necessary experience to be Super Eagles coach. He is educated and very organised as a player, but his success will depend on how organised he is as a coach,” Laloko said on the telephone on Thursday.
“Managing a national team is very different from coaching a club. Besides, being a good footballer and analyst does not automatically make you a fantastic coach. But one thing I can be sure of is that he will introduce a new structure in the team; Keshi never had any structure, and that was what affected the team last year.
“Oliseh might have the UEFA pro licence but it is required that he has a CAF licence, that is what we have on ground as the rule.”
The former Gambia coach and a CAF instructor, explained that the federation should have given experienced local coaches the opportunity are available for the position.
He said, “What is the experience of the Dutch coach and who is bringing him? The NFF should be the one to appoint his assistants, not the other way round. Many of these foreign coaches know nothing about African football.
“Besides, this is not the time to spend our little resources on foreign coaches. We can call on coaches like Bitrus Bewarang, who also have UEFA licences and necessary experience.”
Oliseh’s only managerial experience was at Belgian third division side Verviétois in 2008. Before then, he was sports director at Eupen, also a third division outfit in Belgium. Punch
