Sunday Oliseh Reflects on the “Shocking” Hurdles of Coaching the Super Eagles

Former Nigerian international Sunday Oliseh has pulled back the curtain on his turbulent tenure as the Super Eagles head coach.

Speaking on his YouTube podcast, Global Football Insights, the ex-Juventus star revealed that his mission was hampered by a startling lack of basic resources.

Oliseh recounted instances where training sessions had to be delayed simply because the team lacked a second set of kits. “We had to wait for the morning gear to dry after it was washed before we could head back out,” he explained.

He expressed disbelief that a football powerhouse like Nigeria struggled with basic equipment and sponsorship.

Despite these logistical nightmares, Oliseh maintained a solid record, losing only two of his 14 matches before his departure in early 2016.
