Speaking after the confirmation of Oliseh as the new Super Eagles coach, Felix Anyansi- Agwu, Chairman of the NFF stated, “An offer has been made, and there is an understanding, but we have to work out the final details of the agreement in a few days. Of course, the Executive Board has to give approval for his appointment based on the final terms to be agreed.
The NFF also added that Oliseh would come on board with a “foreign technical assistant, whose job description will centre around development programmes, and working with clubs’ youth teams and certified academies towards developing the game from the grassroots.
