Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, has appointed Sunday Oliseh as coach on a three-year contract. Here are the ten things you need to know about the new Super Eagles gaffer.
According to details provided by Vanguard, Sunday Ogorchukwu Oliseh was born 14 September 1974 in Abavo, Delta State. He played 54 international matches and scored two goals for Nigeria.
He played at the Football World Cups of 1994 and 1998. Oliseh also participated in the Olympic gold medal winning team of 1996.
He is mostly remembered for scoring the winning goal in the group stage match against Spain in the 1998 World Cup, as Nigeria prevailed 3–2. A throw-in deep in the Spanish half was headed clear by a defender – Oliseh ran and fired an explosive shot from 25 yards and took Spanish goalkeeper Andoni Zubizarreta completely by surprise
Despite captaining Nigeria during the 2002 African Cup of Nations, Oliseh was omitted from the World Cup squad later that year for disciplinary reasons
Oliseh retired from international football in June 2002
In March 2004, Oliseh was sacked by Borussia Dortmund after punching team-mate Vahid Hashemian while on loan at VfL Bochum.
In January 2006, at the age of 31, Oliseh retired from professional football after playing a half season for Belgian top club K.R.C. Genk.
-his records are not impressive but some people think he's the man to couch the Eagles... We wait and see.
