NFF Confirms ‘agreement’ With Oliseh As Keshi’s Successor

The Nigerian Football Federation on Wednesday
confirmed they have an agreement with former
skipper Sunday Oliseh to replace Stephen Keshi as
Super Eagles coach.
The Nigeria Football Federation sacked Keshi on
Sunday saying he lacked “the required
commitment” following a row over whether he
applied for the vacant Ivory Coast manager’s job.
The NFF said on Wednesday it had an
“understanding” with Oliseh to take over the side
and revealed that the federation’s president,
Amaju Pinnick, met the 40-year-old in London on
Tuesday.
“An offer has been made and there is
understanding but we have to work out the final
details of the agreement in a few days,” said Felix
Anyansi-Agwu, chairman of the NFF technical and
development committee.
“Of course, the executive board has to give
approval for his appointment based on the final
terms to be agreed.”
