Top sources have revealed that Sunday
Oliseh was aware of a failed attempt by the
Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to replace
him with former Cote d’Ivoire coach Herve
Renard.
It was alleged that top NFF officials led by
“all-powerful” technical committee
chairman Chris Green and the president
approached Frenchman Renard after the
Super Eagles crashed out of the CHAN in
Rwanda.
“Oliseh was very much aware of this move
and he knew all those who contacted
Renard,” a top official disclosed.
“These officials have good contacts with
the coach.
“But unfortunately for them, the French
coach said he will not take up the job
because he is afraid of Boko Haram (the
terrorist organization which has killed over
17,000 people since 2009).”
The coach has won the AFCON with Zambia
(2012) and Cote d’Ivoire (2015).
Renard then Zambia coach was also
approached by the NFF soon after the 2010
AFCON in Angola to take over the Super
Eagles.
He will later sign a lucrative contract with
oil-rich Angola.
