I think Sunday Oliseh is an insecure man who lacks 'emotional maturity'
to manage people. The controversial coach of Nigeria's Super Eagles has
resigned, about seven months after he was appointed.
Oliseh, who announced his resignation on Twitter, said he took the
decision due to the inability of the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF,
to honour the terms of his contract.
His exact words: “Due to contract violations, lack of support, unpaid
wages, benefits to my players, assistant coaches and myself, I resign as
Super Eagles Chief Coach.”
He thanked Nigerians for the opportunity of serving as the coach of the
team in a preceding tweet: “I feel fortunate, blessed and eternally
grateful for having the honour to play, captain and coach this great
nation of ours, Nigeria.”
Oliseh, whose appointment was made with much fanfare by the NFF, soon
started having problems with the executives of the federation over
remuneration, match tactics and results.
He also had challenges managing the players. An altercation between the
coach and the team’s former captain and the country’s most capped
goalkeeper, Vincent Enyeama, led to the goalie’s premature resignation
from the team last October.
Apparently, the last straw for Oliseh was the woeful outing of the Super
Eagles at the CHAN competition in Rwanda, where the team were
eliminated in the first round.
His video outburst where Oliseh said his critics her "mad" has nailed him. NFF, please get someone better!
