Former Super Eagles player, Sunday Oliseh, has expressed disapproval of a foreigner managing the senior Nigerian national team.

Oliseh led this out on Channels Television show on Sunday, where he insisted that there were better home-based coaches capable of doing a great job.

He also criticised the Nigerian team for having captains who had limited playing time in the squad.

Oliseh said: ”I am totally against having that role not being handed over to a Nigerian because we have qualified Nigerians who can do that job.

”When you are talking of a defensive midfield role, I was the one who brought in the young man Wilfred Ndidi.

“It was at the same time I brought in Alex Nwobi and Kelechi Iheanacho, and I gave them their first call-up because they had the quality to do it.

”This I want to call an anomaly, and it started when we started having on the bench sitting captains. You can’t have that, you can’t have your captain sitting on the bench.’

”In other words, you are saying it is an assistant that is leading the team. Super Eagles’ role is the most important in Nigerian football.”

Recall that in January, Nigeria Football Federation appointed Eric Chelle, a French-born former Mali international, to succeed Augustine Eguavoen, who had been serving in an interim.

Since taking over, Chelle has overseen five games for the Super Eagles, winning three, drawing two, and recording 0 losses.
