Oliseh Insists He's Going Nowhere

Super Eagles coach, Sunday Oliseh, has insisted that he's the right man for the Nigeria's national team job despite speculations that authorities might fire the him.

Oliseh, who is also among the few ex-internationals to have managed the national team expressed outrightly: “I am not quitting,”.

The team was harshly criticised after crashing out of the ongoing African Nations Championship prematurely  in Rwanda.

The former Eagles captain has stoutly defended their performance in the East African country as he insists that a lot of off-field issues affected them.

He said, "A lot of things have to change and these are what will be ironed out before another competition starts. The money crisis was a huge one. The players were doing well at the start but their attitude and form dipped when it became very evident that they would not get their cash until after the tournament.

"But if the NFF didn’t have the cash, they could have supported the team in many other ways. They were left alone in a very small two-star hotel in Rwanda. Most of the times the players could not eat what was served by the hotel and Oliseh had to supplement with cash to enable the players eat outside. The coach also assisted many who could not really get quality boot and this was a drain to his pocket."

"In the Abuja camp, there was little or no visit from the NFF team. When you owe players, you should stay close enough to make them believe that they will truly get their money later."  Punch
