Embattled Super Eagles coach, Sunday Oliseh will reportedly remain on the job, after getting the backing of Sports minister Solomon Dalung.
Goal.com reports that top brass of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) were incensed by Oliseh’s demeaning remarks in a You Tube video and demanded he be relieved of his duties with immediate effect.
The conflict came in the wake of Nigeria’s embarrassing early exit at the 2016 African Nations Championship (CHAN) in Rwanda, with many fans calling for the coach’s head.
However, sources close to the Ministry of Sports claim that the minister believes Oliseh deserves a chance to prove his mettle and build a formidable national side.
“The Minister (Solomon Dalung) has frowned at moves to sack the Super Eagles coach,” the unnamed source said.
He has insisted that Oliseh must continue because the ministry will not support the sack of any national coach on the grounds of losing a game or not winning a competition. The minister thinks it’s uncalled for because he believes that the sack of a coach is not the best answer in this situation.
It is not also the best way to build a team, instead the coach needs such outings to learn and get better on the job.”
