The stage is now set for tomorrow's unveiling of the next Nigerian football coach as Former Nigerian player Sunday Oliseh arrived Nigeria this evening to conclude all negotiations on his new appointment.
Oliseh, who played for Nigeria between
1993 to 2002, stormed Abuja, the
country's federal capital territory to
formally resume his new appointment
and sign necessary documents that would solidify the deal.
Speaking on Olisehs appointment, Pinnick, the NFF President said Oliseh was deemed the best hand for the Eagles because of his high intellectual capacity in coaching and recommendations by the Federation of International Football Associations having obtained a UEFA Pro Licence certificate, regarded as the highest coaching certificate in the world but no experience managing a top team.
Though experience on Its part is an added advantage but should not be used as the overall criteria as he's not the first to be first named in the world. Berti Vogts and Juergen Klinsmann didn't have experience when they were appointed, so why the noise about Oliseh", asked Pinnick.
Making a defense on Olisehs appointment, the NFF boss at the Warri City stadium during yesterday's league match between Warri Wolves and Enyimba said "I absolutely feel that we have made the right choice by picking Oliseh to handle the Super Eagles. In this age of technological advancement, we must start doing things differently. We need a coach with sound intellectual capacity and one who has the highest coaching certificate. He is working with FIFA at the technical study group. The world recognises him and FIFA even recommended him. He has the passion to coach the Eagles and that is also important for us.
