fined Sunday Oliseh $30,000 for his ‘insane’
outburst last week in which he claimed that his
former colleagues and critics were insane to ask
for his sack just because he had lost two games
in 11 matches the Super Eagles have played
since his reign.
The 41-year-old posted an 8-minute video on his
website to hit back at what he called the
‘insanity’ of his critics. The coach has since
apologized to the NFF for his outburst aimed at
the Nigerian media as well as his critical former
international teammates.
It is also believed that Sunday Oliseh will consult
his lawyers to contest the fine imposed on him
by the football body.
On Tuesday, top chiefs of the football body led
by Amaju Pinnick held a meeting with the sports
minister Barr. Solomon Dalung on the future of
the embattled chief coach.
After Nigerians and football lovers criticized the
Delta born coach for not appreciating his job by
calling his critics insane, the embattled Super
Eagles took to twitter to address the situation..
He Tweeted;
“When I spoke of critics I did not mean the
general public of Nigeria! I would never dare
refer to my beloved country men as insane!”
“How dare I insult 170 Million people who I love
and have shown me so much love. Please
forgive the error of editing! God bless you all.”
Since Sunday Oliseh assumed leadership of the
Super Eagles following the sack of Stephen
Keshi, he has not been short of controversies.
