Oliseh set to return as Super Eagles head coach

Former Juventus and Borussia Dortmund midfielder, Sunday Oliseh, is being linked with a return to the Nigeria national team six years after leaving the post, Goal reports.

Oliseh was appointed as a permanent replacement for Stephen Keshi in 2016.

However, he stepped down having accused the Nigerian Football Federation of a breach of contract.

Oliseh endured a turbulent spell as coach in which his decision to strip Vincent Enyeama of the captaincy prompted the goalkeeper to leave the national team camp that October.

Following the sacking of the Augustine Eguavoen-led technical crew due to their failure to qualify the country for the 2022 Fifa World Cup in Qatar, unconfirmed news has it that the sports ministry wants the ex-Ajax and Juventus star back as head coach.
