Keshi, I don’t want your job –Oliseh

A former captain of the Super Eagles, Sunday Oliseh, has lashed back at Nigeria coach Stephen Keshi over comments he made against him at the weekend. Oliseh, who responded through his blog, asked Keshi to learn to accept constructive criticism and work with it like managers in Europe do rather than slam any professional that raises any issue about the Eagles.

Last Saturday in Kaduna, Keshi lashed out at Oliseh for saying that there were too many unexposed home-based players in the Confederations Cup team. Oliseh said it affected the team’s performance in the FIFA event.

I Can’t Coach Nigeria Now — Oliseh

Former Super Eagles captain, Sunday Oliseh has distanced himself from any coaching job in Nigeria for now.

He said the system and authorities make it difficult for a serious coach to succeed. Oliseh, who was a guest and a panelist at the Supersport analysis programme said many Nigerians have asked him to consider a coaching job in the country which he turned down.

“People have asked me why don’t you take a coaching job in Nigeria and I said I don’t think I would want to do that because I know my country more than you guys and have served it for eleven years winning everything with it. But now we are seeing changes. We have a government and minister that seem to be appreciating what we are doing.”

He said what they have going are the people who love them with a passion.
