Former
Super Eagles goalkeeper, Peter Rufai has told newly appointed coach, Sunday
Oliseh to have a standby goal tender that will step into the shoes of current
number one Vincent Enyeama.
Enyeama,
has been between the sticks for the Super Eagles since 2002. He recently
indicated that he will not be there forever, when he announced that he might
call it quits after the 2017 African Cup of Nations.
Rufai,
a former Stationery Stores of Lagos keeper and one of Nigeria’s goalkeeping
legends advised Oliseh to start shopping for a replacement.
“I think
one of the tasks before him will be to find a replacement for Vincent Enyeama,”
Rufai said.
“But
Enyeama is still around and we don’t have to panic. But the coach must begin to
look for replacement because we need to have someone capable when he (Enyeama)
is gone.”
Rufai
said he will be in support of whichever goalkeeper the Super Eagles coaches
feels is the right one.
“I
believe the coaches know what they are doing. I’m sure they must be looking at
other options so whichever goalkeeper they choose eventually will be good I
believe,”
