President of the Nigeria Football Federation, Amaju Pinnick has
said he is in constant touch with doctors treating ailing Super
Eagles coach, Sunday Oliseh.
Speaking in Lagos yesterday on Channels Television
programme, Sports This Morning, the NFF boss said, “Oliseh
is getting better. He is human and anybody can break down any
time.”
Pinnick assured that the coach would soon return to his duty
post as he has shown a lot of passion for the job.
“I speak directly with the doctors and we are confident he will be
back soon as he is still undergoing therapy. All he needs is a
good rest,” Pinnick said. Oliseh has been away for treatment in
Belgium since leading the home Eagles to a 2-0 win over Chad
in Port Harcourt in CHAN qualifier.
He couldn’t lead the team to N’Djamena for the second leg as he
was flown to Belgium for treatment. From all indications, Oliseh
could be in the dugout when the Super Eagles face Niger at the
2016 African Nations Championship on January 18. NFF
supremo Amaju Pinnick expects Sunday Oliseh to get well
before then.
The Super Eagles have started preparations for the tournament
in Rwanda, with the team expected to jet out to South Africa
tomorrow for a training camp in the coming days without Oliseh.
