There are reports that as a result of the awful Super Eagles performance at the ongoing Africa Nations Championship (CHAN), Nigeria’s head coach Sunday Oliseh may be sacked any moment from now.
Hints gotten from a reliable source shows that the recurrent poor result by the Sunday Oliseh-led Super Eagles may force the federation to part with the former Juventus defensive midfielder.
Just after the CHAN exit, it was reported that Oliseh, in an interview with a popular radio station, portrayed the football body and the government in bad light, a situation the leadership of the NFF frowned at, and could consequently dismiss the tactician.
It was however disclosed that unless there is a last minute change, Samson Siasia, who is currently the head coach of the Under 23 Dream Team VI Eagles may be drafted to manage the Super Eagles temporarily while Emmanuel Amuneke would be assisting.
Oliseh has been at the receiving end as the Nigerian team continue to slide-down the FIFA world ranking table.
Under the former team captain, the Super Eagles have played 7 competitive games winning 3, drawing 3 and losing 1. He equally managed the team in 5 friendly games winning 3, drawing 1 and losing 1.
Meanwhile, as the Super Eagles returned to the country without coach Sunday Oliseh, it was disclosed that the 41-year-old no longer feel safe being in Nigeria.
Recall that all through the team’s camping for CHAN 2016 in Abuja, he refused to show up but was the first to hit South Africa for the second phase of camping in Pretoria.
However, the Nigeria Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) claimed that the team coach departed Rwanda for his base to continue with treatment for the flu he has been battling with since last year.
