Oliseh has quit as Nigeria’s football coach after claiming violations of his
contract and receiving too little help from the national federation for next
month’s crucial 2017 Africa Cup of Nations clash with Egypt. Nigeria host
seven-time African champions and group leaders Egypt on March 25 in Kaduna
before a return fixture days later, with only the overall group winners
guaranteed automatic qualification to the 2017 Nations Cup in Gabon.
“Oliseh
has resigned as Super Eagles coach after he did not enjoy the right support
from the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF),” a top official said on Friday. “He
also complained of several breaches to his contract with the NFF,” he said.
