The Super Eagles coach, Sunday Oliseh has rolled out bucket of challenges that have led him to quit the stage today, even as the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) confirmed his resignation.
A top official with the football body said that the aggrieved coach claimed violations in his contract even as Oliseh himself complaied that his salary has not been paid in four months and he has no accommodation as promised by the NFF.
It is also understood that he was unhappy over the dismissal of his personal assistant, former international Tijjani Babangida, and rumours that the NFF approached former Cote d’Ivoire coach Herve Renard, who has since been appointed coach of Morocco.
In his resignation letter to the NFF’s General Secretary today, Oliseh said that due to the unconducive working conditions that he and his coaching crew have to live with, the NFF contractual violations and the interest of the nation, he was tendering his resignation and recourse to the termination of the working agreement.
The full text of Sunday Oliseh’s resignation letter is reproduced here:
Dear General Secretary of NFF,
Object: Letter of Resignation.
Due to incessant Violations of our signed agreement (Contract) I am hereby informing you of my decision to terminate our working collaboration signed in July 2015
The most important objective is for the Super Eagles Of Nigeria to qualify to the next AFCON and the World Cup 2018.
Since so little help is being rendered me in getting the players to give their best and very vital conditions and advantages to the team play are also being sacrificed coupled with non redress of the aforementioned despite my several e mails and others, seeking your aid to effectively carry out my duties were ignored.
These unconducive working conditions that my coaching crew and myself have to live with, your contractual violations and the interest of the nation necessitates that I tender my resignation and recourse to the termination of our working agreement.
Many thanks for the opportunity to serve my fatherland. [myad]
