There has been so much
speculation and guess work on the nature of Coach Sunday Oliseh’s illness that
there are even insinuations that it could be the “handiwork of his enemies”
Since he assumed office as coach
of the Super Eagles, the former Super Eagles star has not spent quality time
with the team due to an ailment that had seen him going in and out of hospital
On Sunday we reported that the
coach who led the Eagles to a disastrous outing in Rwanda did not come back
with the team because of what close associates termed “fear for his life”
Today, ReportersLab gathered that
if Coach Oliseh was a player, he would not have been signed by Nigeria for
“chronic injury” problems.
A very authoritative source told
us yesterday that the NFF did not investigate properly before signing Oliseh as
he is “not fit”
“During the World Cup in Brazil,
Oliseh was part of the technical study group, yet he did not write down one
sentence because he was reported ill while he was in Brazil.
His colleagues virtually helped
him to write his report.
“At one stage he was vomiting so
much that we thought he will die. It was okay for us to ask him to take time
out to treat himself while cover up for him.
“Am sure the NFF did not know he
was not medically fit, if not they would not have gone for him, “our source
insisted.
This exclusive revelation has put
paid to insinuations by sympathizers who laid his illness on the doorstep of
“enemies” who want to eliminate him from the national team job.
With CHAN out of the way and the
Nations Cup preliminaries in March, the NFF will need a fit Oliseh to take
charge of the challenging double header against Egypt.
