Oliseh Confesses, Admits Real Reasons He Abandoned Nigeria by simplyolat(m): 8:52am On Dec 24, 2016
Sunday Oliseh says consideration for his
family was responsible for him resigning
as the Super Eagles coach.

Former Super Eagles coach, Sunday Oliseh
has said it was because of his family that
he resigned as the Nigeria coach.
The former Nigeria international stepped
down from his role as the Super Eagles
coach in February, citing unpaid salaries
and broken promises on the part of his
employers, theNigeria Football Federation.
However, he has now claimed it was
because of his family that he quit just a
month to two crucial Africa Cup of Nations
qualifiers against Egypt.

“Most of the time I was living in Belgium
so I was not reachable to give comments
but it got to a time I had to think of my
two kids and the 21 years of marriage I
have had with my wife and decided to pass
the button to another person,” Oliseh was
quoted by the Punch.
The former Juventus midfielder also
claimed deciding to resign was the most
difficult decision he has had to make.
“Deciding to resign from the coaching job
of the Super Eagles is the most difficult
decision I ever took in my whole life. It
took me a whole month to decide it,” the
42-year-old said further.

Meanwhile, Oliseh also claimed that Africa
is the most talented continent with players
who have football skills when compared
with the rest of the world.

“When I started my football career at the
age of 16 in Belgium, the Europeans never
taught me how to dribble the ball or pass
they only taught me how to be disciplined
and what to do at the right time. They just
polish what we as Africans have.”
