Oliseh Must See Himself As A Messiah - Fashanu

                           

Football veteran, John Fashanu believes Super Eagles coach Sunday Oliseh should see himself as a messiah because he has the second hardest jo in the country after President Muhammudu Buhari.
Speaking with journalists at the inauguration of the first ever Sports University in Idumuje-Ugboko, Aniocha North Local Government Area of Delta, Fashanu said the form of the Super Eagles should not be commended.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Fashanu slammed the Super Eagles for moving backwards in the latest FIFA rankings.

He said: “People say when we gave Sunday the job, he said he is not the messiah. Only one job is harder than being a Super Eagles coach in this country and that is being the President.

“So, if you are not ready to be the messiah, you better step down because being a Supper Eagles Coach, it means you have the second hardest job in this country.

“You have to bear the responsibilities because nobody cares that you have never had that job before,’’ he said.

He added: “Super Eagles have not impressed me at all lately. I will not say the appointment of Oliseh was bad, it is a challenge; he has not had that position before.

“But we have to step up because the country now is moving backwards in terms of football in FIFA rankings. We are at the lowest end; it has never been like that. That means somebody at the top must do something

The former footballer also called on supporters to turn up t local league matches.

In a related development,  former Super Eagles coach Clemens Westerhof has slammed coach Sunday Oliseh for saying he was proud of the team’s defeat of Swaziland in a 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifier.

Nigeria defeated Swaziland 2 – 0 in the second leg of the World Cup qualifier after a goalless first leg.
