To sweeten the deal, the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF)
has announced that the new Super Eagles handler, Sunday Oliseh, and his
assistants will get three months salary advance to make them hit the
ground running.
This surprising announcement was made by NFF chairman, Amaju
Pinnick, at unveiling in Abuja on Wednesday July 15 of the new
coaches.
This is seem to be a great departure from the past where Super Eagle coaches were owed several months salaries.
Oliseh after signing the a three-year contract opened up on his plans for the future of the Super Eagles.
He said: “
My assistants and myself will not invite to the camp of
the National Team of Nigeria any player who is not playing in the top
division in the recognized Leagues of the world, including Nigeria. The
only exception would be those players from any of the age-grade National
Teams that we find exceptional and deserving of an opportunity to try
and win shirts in the senior team.”
Former Eagles captain said that Nigerians should not expect miracle from him stating that he is not a Messiah.
“I have come to do my very best, give 150%, to take Nigeria football
to the next level, with the support of my assistants, the NFF and
relevant stakeholders. I am optimistic that we will lift the Nigeria
game to a new height,” he stated.
He explained that his perceived ‘stubbornness,’ by people is
nothing, noting that there is difference between being principled and
being stubborn in the course of duty.
“
I come to serve my country, not to wage a war,” he said. “I
have come to serve, and the NFF has promised to give me all the support I
need to succeed. They are the employers and I am the employee. That
distinction has to be appreciated at all times.
“I have had meetings with members of the Technical and
Development Committee, led by Chief Anyansi-Agwu, very knowledgeable
people all. I have met members of the Executive Committee and the
General Secretary. I believe we will all work together excellently. It
is a huge honour to be the head coach of Nigeria,” he expalined
Oliseh is expected to take Super Eagle to 2017 Africa Cup of Nations after the country lost in out on the 2015 edition.
