Nigeria coach Sunday Oliseh announced his resignation from the Super Eagles job on Twitter early on Friday morning.
According to a report on Goal. Com, this comes less than 30 days before the Eagles play two crucial Africa Cup of Nations qualifying matches against Egypt
After having a running battle with the Nigeria Football Federation, critics, media and fans following the Super Eagles early elimination from the African Nations Championship last month, Oliseh went on a YouTube rant that divided the football community earlier in February.
But no one expected him to throw in the towel and quit the job this early even though he looked to be unprepared for the big job following on his antecedents.
However, Oliseh caught everyone by surprise as he announced via social media that he was leaving early Friday, a day after he spoke via video about his struggles as well as hopes for the team at a Social Media Week event in Lagos.
“I feel fortunate, blessed and eternally grateful for having had the honour to Play,Captain & Coach this great Nation of ours,Nigeria,” Oliseh began his tweets.
“Due to contract violations, lack of support, unpaid wages, benefits to my players, Asst. Coaches & myself, I resign as Super Eagles Chief Coach,” thus ended his brief spell in a turbulent Nigeria job.
