I’ll consider managing Super Eagles again -Sunday Oliseh

Former Super Eagles head coach, Sunday Oliseh, has revealed that he would consider managing the team again provided the appropriate conditions are met.

The former midfielder coached the Super Eagles from July 2015 to February 2016.

During his presidency, Oliseh had a contentious relationship with the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).

During his tenure as coach of the Super Eagles, the 49-year-old had several fall-outs with senior players.

The former Ajax star is among those tipped to replace Jose Peseiro.

When asked if he was interested in coaching the Super Eagles, Oliseh said on Channels Television Sports: “Right now, what I can say is that I am going to put my wildcard on this question.

“As I have also often said, if Nigeria needs my services, I will always help my country if the right conditions are met. “

NFF begins search for Peseiro replacement ahead of World Cup qualifiers
Nigeria football bosses last Friday announced that applications were open for the job of national head coach to replace Jose Peseiro ahead of crucial World Cup qualifiers.

Peseiro stepped down after leading the country to the final of the Africa Cup of Nations last month where they lost 2-1 to hosts Ivory Coast.

The 63-year-old Portuguese met the target of reaching the semi-finals, but opted to move on after negotiations reported to be mainly over salary broke down.

Applications must be received no later than March 12, according to the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) announcement.

Former Tanzania coach Emmanuel Amuneke has been widely linked with the job after he assisted Samson Siasia and Augustine Eguavoen previously.

The new coach will lead the team to two crucial 2026 World Cup qualifiers in June at home against South Africa and away to neighbours Benin.

Nigeria are third in their World Cup qualifying group with two points from as many matches.

Rwanda lead the group with four points, while South Africa are second on three points.

Lesotho and Zimbabwe are the other teams in the group with the overall winner qualifying automatically for the World Cup in the United States in two years.
