Vincent Enyeama: Super Eagles captain congratulates new coach, Sunday Oliseh
Former Nigerian global, Henry Nwosu, has urged the new Super Eagles gaffer, Sunday Oliseh not to base his criteria for inviting players for national team assignment on those who play in top clubs alone.

The previous coach had his contract terminated by the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) following reports that the former Mali and Togo manager had applied for the vacant spot at the head of the Cote D’Ivoire national team. “First of all, I am not coming as a Messiah. I will give more than 150 per cent of my performance”, he said after signing the dotted lines with officials of the football federation in Abuja, the Nigerian capital. “But we have the potential and that is our belief and the players must know that it’s an honour to be invited to the national team”.
“I however think he might be speaking out because of what he has discussed with his teammates, and I don’t think we should stop someone from speaking out when he is the captain.” Gone are the days we have individual players who can single handedly win a match for you.
A member of the “golden generation” of Nigerian football stars – alongside Jay-Jay Okocha, Nwankwo Kanu and Finidi George – Oliseh has been working as a pundit, sport consultant and Fifa Technical committee member. “Today we have been able to present the Pep Guardiola (Bayern Munich coach) of Africa”, Pinnick remarked.
He re-assured Globacom that the company’s investment in Nigerian football will not be in vain, stressing that, “We will get result in the coming years and our football we be back on track”.
Can Sunday Oliseh stand the heat of NFF and Nigeria’s pressure and still deliver on the job? “We will follow all the clauses of this contract”. “Not all the players that played under Westrehof were playing for top division clubs yet Nigeria performed excellently well”. He also won Olympic gold in 1996 as well as the Africa Cup of Nations in 1994.
Oliseh is mainly remembered for scoring the winning goal against Spain in the France 1998 at the group stage, a footage that was extensively used by many television stations then.
According to a top official of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), he is expected to return two weeks before Nigeria take on Tanzania in an AFCON 2017 qualifying game in September.
