Former coach of the Super Eagles of Nigeria
Sunday Oliseh has suggested that his
replacement Samson Siasia should be blamed
for Nigeria’s failure to qualify for AFCON 2017
and not him.
Nigeria used four coaches during their failed
attempt to qualify for next year AFCON which
will he holding in Gabon, with late coach
Stephen Keshi starting the campaign with a 2-0
win over Chad before he was axed.
Following his sacking, Sunday Oliseh was
appointed as coach of the team and handled
them in just one game against Tanzania which
ended 0-0, before throwing in the towel, three
weeks to the group decider. The double header
against Egypt.
Oliseh’s resignation lead to the employment of
Samson Siasia as interim manager of the team
for the games against Egypt. With Nigeria
drawing 1-1 at home before losing 0-1 away to
miss out on any chance of progressing to next
year AFCON.
New manager Gernot Rohr completed the
qualifying series for Nigeria beating Tanzania
1-0 in a dead rubber tie in Uyo, but while most
Nigerians are blaming Oliseh. He inferred in a
chat with a fan on social media that whoever
handled the games against Egypt should be
blamed.
A follower @Okparajokpara posted a tweet on
his wall that reads ” Fans should blame the
coach that failed to beat Egypt at the nations
cup qualifiers and Oliseh winning ratio was
fantastics”
Oliseh replied his post by saying ” Wow cheers &
bravo, @Okparajokpara , I believe most
Nigerians know this now. But as always there
will always be a few loud exception”
” Foreign experts & I are puzzled to a rib
breaking point, how a coach who had 80%
success rate be called anything but successful”
He concluded.
