| Sunday Oliseh |
Nigeria Football Federation NFF President, Amàju Pinnick has said
that former Super Eagles captain, Sunday Oliseh does not need any prior
experience to handle the Nigerian senior national team.
The ex-Borrusia Dortmund midfield marshal is set to be unveiled
as the Super Eagles manager at the Glass house in Abuja, to replace Stephen
Keshi as the coach of Nigeria’s senior male national team.
However, Pinnick who had a chat with newsmen at the Warri
City stadium during Sunday’s league match between Warri Wolves and
Enyimba, said Oliseh was deemed the best hand for the Eagles job because of his
high intellectual capacity in coaching and recommendations by the Federation of
International Football Associations
Oliseh, who has a UEFA Pro Licence certificate,
regarded as the highest coaching certificate in the world has no experience managing a top team in Europe,
Africa, America and no prior experience coaching of a junior national side.

“I absolutely feel that we have made the right
choice by picking Oliseh to handle the Super Eagles. In this age of
technological advancement, we must start doing things differently. We need a
coach with sound intellectual capacity and one who has the highest coaching
certificate. He is working with FIFA at the technical study group. The world
recognises him and FIFA even recommended him. He has the passion to coach the
Eagles and that is also important for us.
“On his lack of experience, Nigerians must
realise that he’s not the first to be first named in the world. Berti Vogts and
Juergen Klinsmann didn’t have experience when they were appointed, so why
the noise about Oliseh”, asked Pinnick rhetorically.”
Pinnick said the best experience needed to do
the job were intellectual capacity and prior experience as a player.
