Former Super Eagles captain, Sunday Oliseh has said he is willing to take on the mantle as Super Eagles coach if he is wanted by the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF).

The Eagles star has been without a job since 2018 after left his role over allegations of a scuffle between him and the NFF in 2016. He alleged in 2016 that he was being bewitched. He, however, debunked the rumors.

Oliseh was one of the key players in his playing days. He played for a host of European clubs including the Dutch side, Ajax between 1997 and 1999.

“My country is my country, nobody can take it from me. You can make any comment you want to make, but I am first [a] Nigerian before anything else,” the 1996 Olympic gold medalist said while featuring on Channels Sports on Sunday, June 27.

“So, if my country really needs me to help out and they ask me to come and do it, I will do it.”

“But I will not do it if I am giving the best of my knowledge for my country to work and somebody is just taking it ‘yes or no’ and then eventually we all fail,” Oliseh, a 1994 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) winner, explained.
