Newly appointed Super Eagles Manager Sunday Oliseh says he's come to give his best for the development of the National Team, speaking during his official presentation as the Super Eagles Coach by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) at the Media Centre of the National Stadium in Abuja on Wednesday July 15
Here's what the 40-year-old Manager had to share with the media and the general public.
''First of all, I am not coming as a messiah, I am not coming as man who knows it all, I am not coming as someone who can singlehandedly just turn nigeria into Germany but I am coming as a man who has come to serve his country and ready to give a 150% even more and that is why I brought an expatriate, Lusciuto who is ready to work and without the attitude of better than thou in him. He is an expatriate who knows Africa and hungry for victory.
''We need Salisu because he knows the league in and out because our aim is also to work with home based players. We need Aloy Agu because when you are talking about calmness and someone who can also channel the goalkeepers and also give tactical and technical advises to the coaches he is also one of them and that is why we are what we are.
''The state we are now in Nigeria I think we are all not very happy with it, we say it as it is, but I must be very blunt because I am among my countrymen so let us call a spade a spade. Gone are the days when we had individual players who can win matches for us out of their own individual efforts and that is what we had during my generation and the way out is this; if you don’t have great players, you need a great technical coaching crew and a great national federation to compensate for what you don’t have as regards these great players. But we have potentials even to be the best in the world, that is what I honestly believe and that is what my coaching crew also believe. ''
