Former Nigeria coach Sunday Oliseh has shed light on some of the challenges he encountered during his short spell as head coach of the Super Eagles.

Despite signing a three-year contract with the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Oliseh resigned from the role after barely eight months in charge of the national team.

Speaking on his YouTube channel, Oliseh’s Global Football Insights Podcast, the former midfielder shared some unpleasant experiences that culminated in his resignation as head coach of the three-time African champions.

“When I was coaching the Super Eagles, we did not have the equipment.

“There were times when I had to take the boys out to training, but we couldn’t start at the scheduled time because we had to wait for the clothes they used in the morning to dry up after being washed.

“Those were the things I was facing. It was shocking to me because I knew that a top nation like ours, getting sponsors wasn’t a difficult thing.”
