The President of the Nigeria Football Federation, Amaju Pinnick, has said that the Super Eagles will be a better team under the incoming coach, Sunday Oliseh. Pinnick said with the discussions so far, the former international had shown so much commitment and zeal to excel with the national team.
He said the former Ajax player had been in constant touch with him and the technical Committee chairman, Felix Anyansi-Agwu. The NFF boss said; “He is ready for the challenge and I have no doubt he will excel because of the way he has been talking to us. He seems to have been ready a long time ago for the task we are about handing to him. “When you are talking to a coach-to-be and the first thing he mentions is his determination to re-structure the playing pattern of the team, you cannot but respect that.
“I am very happy that Oliseh has deep knowledge of the game. He surely knows what he wants and how he intends to achieve his objectives. Very soon, Nigerians will commend the NFF for the step we are taking.” On the challenge of meeting the conditions of the National Sports Commission with respect to following due process in hiring of the coach, Pinnick said work was ongoing to achieve that.
“We are doing everything possible to make sure the coach is unveiled soon. The conditions of government will be met and everything will be fine,” the NFF boss said. It is unclear if the unveiling ceremony of the coach will still hold on Wednesday in Abuja given the logistics the NFF will have to take care of at the level of government before Oliseh gets the nod.
