Oliseh Proud Of Super Eagles Despite Early CHAN 2016 Crash

Super Eagles coach, Sunday Oliseh, has said that he's proud of his disappointing team that crashed out of the 2016 African Nations Championship on Tuesday afternoon in Ruvabu, Rwanda.

The CHAN Eagles were the group leaders just before the game with four points, and needed just a

draw to go through to the next round of the competition before losing 1-0 to the Guinea national team.

“It’s a big disappointment, but I’m proud of my boys even though we did not go through. They gave a good image of themselves,” said Oliseh.

“Somewhere inside it was difficult for the players. They have given their best, they needed that lift and they couldn’t find it then

“We came out to win, but we did not play. My players are human and there is limit to what they can hold. For some morale reasons, they couldn’t fight it today.

“My players have children and families. Adult tournaments are not youth tournaments.”
Oliseh has maintained his team have worked under trying conditions.

“We are the most poorly equipped technical crew to manage Nigeria’s super Eagles since I started playing for the country. The least for what anyone can do is to be grateful for what we are doing,” argued the coach who took over the Eagles in July 2015.

“I’m coaching Nigeria and if I get tired, I will leave the work.”
