Former international and Super Eagles coach Sunday Oliseh has declared that there is an urgent need to change the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) if the country hoped for a change of fortunes in the national sport.
“We have to change the (Super Eagles) coach (Gernot Rohr), we have to change the federation,” Oliseh said on SuperSport TV programme Naija Made today.
“The problems start from the NFF, let’s stop kidding ourselves.
“We have to change the direction we are going.
“The NPFL is paralysed, Nigeria football is not just the Super Eagles, who have been struggling for years.
“The federation is the problem, you get frustrated by the federation.
“(When I was Super Eagles coach) I got fed up because of this frustration and I gave them back their job.
“It hurts me because I want to serve my country.”
Oliseh said he is concerned about the injury to Victor Osimhen and the uncertainties surrounding Rohr as the Eagles head to the 2021 AFCON in Cameroon.
“I am worried by Osimhen’s injury because it will be difficult to make up for his absence,” he said.
“Uncertainty (over Rohr) has crippled the team. The coach needs the authority and for the players to carry out his instructions.”
NFF is the problematic tumor eating up the cells and organs of Nigerian 🇳🇬 football ⚽️ and until the tumor is surgical removed, it will keep spreading until it kills Nigerian football. Every single one of them from Pinnick to the very last individual in NFF is a common thief and you can’t build anything with thieves in charge.
