Sunday Oliseh has resigned his appointment as the Chief Coach of the Super Eagles. This is coming about 7 months after his appointment in July 2015. Oliseh took to Twitter in the early hours of today to make his resignation known. According to his tweets,”I feel fortunate, blessed and eternally grateful for having had the honour to play,captain and coach this great Nation of ours, Nigeria. Due to contract violations, lack of support, unpaid wages,benefits to my players,assistant coaches & myself, I resign as Super Eagles Chief Coach”. Oliseh, a FIFA Technical Committee member, and sports consultant, has since changed his verified Twitter profile to ‘Ex-Chief Coach,Super Eagles Nigeria’.
Below is the resignation letter dated 25th February 2016 that Oliseh forwarded to NFF.
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
