Less than 30 days to the crucial Afcon 2017 qualifiers against Egypt, Sunday Oliseh announced his resignation as the National team Coach over what he terms ” Contract Violations”.Oliseh tweeted his resignation early hours Friday but the Nigeria Football Federation has not responded to the Coach’s decision.
Sunday Oliseh @SundayOOliseh: “I feel fortunate, blessed and eternally grateful for having had the honour to Play,Captain & Coach this great Nation of ours,Nigeria.”
” Due to Contract violations ,lack of Support,Unpaid wages,Benefits to my players,Asst.Coaches & myself, I resign as Super Eagles Chief Coach.”
The 41-year-old was hired in July 2015 and was handed the task of qualifying for the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations and 2018 FIFA World Cup.
He replaced 2013 Afcon winning Coach, Stephen Keshi, who was sacked over claims of a breach of his contractual agreement with the Federation.
Meanwhile, a letter supposedly written by Oliseh and sent to the NFF Secretariat reads:
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
