Sunday Oliseh has explained
succinctly the major reasons for
quitting the Nigeria senior national
team, the Super Eagles eight months
after being appointed,
Completesportsnigeria.com reports.

Oliseh who had been in a running
battle with his employers over what
he termed uncondusive working
conditions told
Completesportsnigeria.com that he
was irked by the underground
moves by the Nigerian Football
Federation to sack him and the
constant violations of his
contractual agreement.

Oliseh was irked by the fact that
the President Of the Nigerian
Football Federation, Amaju Pinnick
tried to hire Frenchman Herve
Renard soon after the Home Eagles
crashed out of the group stages of
the African Nations Champions.
“They had their motives and what I
did was in the best interest of the
country,” Oliseh began.

“While I was coach of the team they
tried to hire Renard who turned
them down citing three major
reasons,” Oliseh told
Completesportsnigeria.com in the
wee hours of Friday.

“When I sought their aid to
effectively carry out my duties I
was ignored and instead of the
helping me getting the players to
give their best and placing them in
a very good conditions at an
advantages to the team play, they
had plans to derail the progress of
the team’s chances.

“The most important objective is
for the Super Eagles Of Nigeria to
qualify to the next AFCON and the
World Cup 2018,”
Completesportsnigeria.com also got
a copy of from the resignation
letter Oliseh sent to the NFF
(published below).

OLISEH’S RESIGNATION LETTER

Dear General Secretary of NFF,
Object: Letter of Resignation.

Due to incessant Violations of our
signed agreement (Contract) I am
hereby informing you of my
decision to terminate our working
collaboration signed in July 2015
The most important objective is for
the Super Eagles Of Nigeria to
qualify to the next AFCON and the
World Cup 2018.

Since so little help is being
rendered me in getting the players
to give their best and very vital
conditions and advantages to the
team play are also being sacrificed
coupled with non redress of the
aforementioned despite my several
e mails and others, seeking your
aid to effectively carry out my
duties were ignored.

These unconducive working
conditions that my coaching crew
and myself have to live with, your
contractual violations and the
interest of the nation necessitates
that I tender my resignation and
recourse to the termination of our
working agreement.

Many thanks for the opportunity to
serve my fatherland.

Sunday Oliseh
Chief Coach Super Eagles of Nigeria
