The celebrated new coach of the Super Eagles, Sunday Oliseh has declared that his primary concern was to serve the country and not to wage war against anyone.
Oliseh said this in Abuja on Wednesday when he was formally presented to the public as the new National team manager. He got a whopping N15m being his 3-month salary in advance.
“I have come to serve, and the NFF has promised to give me all the support I need to succeed. They are the employers and I am the employee. That distinction has to be appreciated at all times.
“I have had meetings with members of the Technical and Development Committee, led by Chief Anyansi-Agwu, very knowledgeable people all. I have met members of the Executive Committee and the General Secretary. I believe we will all work together excellently. It is a huge honour to be Head Coach of Nigeria.
“One thing I will say, dear compatriots, is that I am not a Messiah. I have come to do my very best, give 150%, to take Nigeria football to the next level, with the support of my assistants, the NFF and relevant stakeholders. I am optimistic that we will lift the Nigeria game to a new height.
“My assistants and myself will not invite to the camp of the National Team of Nigeria, any player who is not playing in the top division in the recognized Leagues of the world, including Nigeria. The only exception would be those players from any of the age-grade National Teams that we find exceptional and deserving of an opportunity to try and win shirts in the senior team,” he said.
Meanwhile, the President of Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, Amaju Pinnick also announced
Alloy Agu, Belgian Jean Francois Losciuto and Salisu Yusuf as assistants to Oliseh. They also got three months salary in advance.
