NFF insulted Nigerians by appointing Oliseh – Onigbinde
Former Super Eagles coach, Chief Adegboye Onigbinde, has lambasted
the Nigeria Football Federation for ‘insulting’ Nigerians by appointing
Sunday Oliseh, a coach without experience to manage the national team.
Onigbinde, who led the Super Eagles to the 2002 World Cup in
Korea/Japan, had warned the NFF before the appointment of the 41-year
old pundit and has also said that it was a disgrace for the NFF to have
begged anyone with no experience to manage the Super Eagles, which he
said was a brand. Chief Onigbinde
He said: “The first issue is about his appointment which he claimed
he didn’t beg for, in other words, the NFF begged him. And I begin to
ask what qualities did the NFF see in him to have him lead the Super
Eagles?
“I still feel it is a big slap on the country to appoint a Nigerian
or a foreigner who has never handled any club or a big team to handle
the Super Eagles. That is an insult, and now the insult is being
complicated.
“Oliseh is now calling his critics insane. I watched the video and at
a point was shedding tears for Nigerian football, but we deserve it.
“Since he got this job, he has been going to Europe for treatment,
shouldn’t the NFF have verified his health condition before his
appointment? Now he has the guts to insult everybody.”
He further explained that the former skipper of the national team was inexperienced and never a good manager of men.
“He has shown his inadequacy in terms of experience. For instance,
see the way he handled Vincent Enyeama’s case. If Oliseh was a good
manager, he could have commiserated with him first on the loss of his
mother and Enyeama would have been worshipping him but he wanted to be a
boss,” he continued.
“Have Nigerians forgotten that the national team broke down in Mali
as a result of gross indiscipline under his leadership and now that is
the kind of person NFF feels is good enough for the Super Eagles job.
“These are the questions we failed to answer before giving him the
job and to some extent, he is right in throwing hot water on the faces
of those who landed him the job.
“You can imagine a coach coming out a day to the commencement of the
African Nations Championship that his players are not well fed and all
that. What kind of result do you expect from that kind of coach?
“The question now is, will this not affect our chances in future
competitions? Now we are causing more confusion and destroying the team
further.
“That is in the hands of those managing Nigeria football. I have made
several enemies speaking the truth. The fact is we have administrative
problems bedevilling our football,” he concluded.
