While speaking during a session with journalists at the Onikan stadium’s conference centre in Lagos,  newly-appointed coach of the Super Eagles, Sunday Oliseh, who has been asked to qualify Nigeria for the 2018 FIFA World Cup, said;

“Let me share this with you. When I was to take the job, I told my dad and my mother. I will share what my mum told me with you.

I called my father and mother that they are offering me this job, but my mother told me ‘Na fire my son’. But she told me something that I really loved, she said ‘If to say he easy, na everybody for dey do am’ But if I want to succeed, I should work hard to do it well that was what she said.

I don’t have the base to work on but I try to look at it that in the past one year, we have played 62 players and that is practically six teams. I don’t mean those who played regularly but those who were invited to camp.

In the national teams we have over 11 to 12 games and for now, I don’t have a base of six regular players that I can build the team around.

To tell me now to start performing miracles by winning matches otherwise you resign if you don’t win this. I don’t think Guardiola or Mourinho will do that? My job is cut out for me and it is a lot of work. I look at it as a difficult task but I cannot succeed if we are antagonising ourselves.”
