Oliseh Wants More Changes to Eagles Back-Room Setup

Sunday Oliseh has demanded for further reshuffling of his back-room staff, according to a top official.

The new Super Eagles coach is determined to inject freshness into the management of his inherited team and has moved for extra changes to his back-room staff.

Keshi, you could recall, earlier favoured the appointment of Alloysius Agu as national team goalkeeper trainer in place of another ex-international Ike Shorunmu.

“He simply wants to begin on a clean slate and that is why he wishes to make more changes to the Eagles back room staff,” a top officially is quoted as saying by AfricanFootball.com.

“What is now left is for the NFF secretariat to effect those changes.”

Oliseh also wants all his assistants to sign their contracts in the shortest while, as someone like assistant coach 2, Salisu Yusuf, was earlier not bound to an official contract while serving as a sidekick to the dismissed Stephen Keshi.

Oliseh’s will be in charge of the Super Eagles for the first time against Tanzania in an Afcon 2017 qualifier away to Tanzania in the first weekend of September. He will guide the side in a friendly against a soon-to-be-confirmed team days later.
