Sunday Oliseh resigns from his role as Super Eagles' coach on TWITTER!


I guess this is one of the lows that comes with the social media age.

Sunday Oliseh who captained the Nigeria national team before being appointed as manager in 2015 has resigned as Head Coach of the football team.
Oliseh made the announcement in the early hours of Friday morning on Twitter, hinging his decision on the inability of the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, to honour their agreed terms of contract with him, his assistants and players.

He tweeted “Due to contract violations, lack of support, unpaid wages, benefits to my players, assistant coaches and myself, I resign as Super Eagles Chief Coach.”

He then followed up that tweet with another, thanking Nigerians for the opportunity to serve in the capacity that he has done as a player, captain and coach of the national team.
“I feel fortunate, blessed and eternally grateful for having the honour to play, captain and coach this great nation of ours, Nigeria.”

Oliseh's appointment just a little over 7 months ago was met with so much enthusiasm and fanfare by the NFF, however, he soon fell out with the executives of the federation over remuneration, match tactics and results as well as some senior players of the squad - some of which retired from the national team as a result. The football body is yet to respond to the resignation.

My question is, Why does the NFF always have contract issues with each coach they appoint for the national team? Why do they all accuse the governing body of a lack of integrity?
