The honeymoon seems over for newly appointed Super Eagles coach, Sunday Oliseh who will tonight hit the Abuja camp of the team after ringing the closing bell of the Nigeria Stock Exchange in Lagos today.
The
former Eagles captain, who signed a three-year deal with the Nigeria Football
Federation (NFF) on July 15 arrived Nigeria weekend and will get down to work
today when he meets the 23 home-based players invited to camp ahead of next
month’s 2017 AFCON qualifier against Tanzania in Dar es Salaam.
And
Oliseh, who will be in Lagos this afternoon to ring the closing bell alongside
the President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Pinnick Melvin Amaju,
the first time a Nigerian coach would be performing such a ground-breaking feat
in history, will be delighted to head to camp to meet the local players,
some of whom are in a rich vein of form.
At the
head of the pack is Warri Wolves’ striker forward Gbolahan Salami, who scored
one of the goals when the Eagles opened the AFCON race with a 2-0 win over Chad
in Kaduna in June. There are also regular faces like Solomon Kwambe and Nelson
Ogbonnaya.
Oliseh
will be particularly delighted to meet Prince Aggreh of Sunshine Stars, who
netted three goals in yesterday’s Premier League clash with Giwa at the Akure
Township Stadium. With such a spectacular form, Aggreh will get more than a hug
from the former Dortmund and Ajax defensive midfielder.
