Former Nigerian international, Suday Oliseh, has expressed his willingness to return as the coach of the Super Eagles, MySportDab Reports.
Oliseh, who previously managed the senior national team from July 2015 to February 2016, revealed his readiness to accept the vacant position under specific circumstances.
Having departed from his coaching role due to strained relations with the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) and certain senior players during his previous tenure, Oliseh remains a prominent figure in discussions regarding potential replacements for Portuguese coach Jose Peseiro.
The 49-year-old, who boasts a successful playing career with Ajax, clarified his stance on the matter in an interview with Channels Television Sports.
Despite his interest in the role, Oliseh emphasized that his decision to return would depend on the fulfillment of certain conditions.
“I am going to put my wildcard on this question,” Oliseh stated. “As I have also often said, if Nigeria needs my services, I will always help my country if the right conditions are met.”
Oliseh’s willingness to consider a return to coaching the Super Eagles highlights his enduring commitment to Nigerian football.
With his experience both as a player and a coach, Oliseh could potentially offer valuable insights and leadership to the national team setup, provided the necessary conditions for a successful partnership are in place.
As discussions regarding the appointment of a new coach continue, Oliseh’s statement adds an intriguing dimension to the ongoing speculation surrounding the Super Eagles’ coaching position.
Whether or not Oliseh will ultimately helm the national team once again remains to be seen, but his availability presents an intriguing possibility for Nigerian football’s future.
