Coach Sunday Oliseh has been linked with a return to the Nigeria national team six years after leaving the post.

He was appointed as a permanent replacement for Stephen Keshi in 2016, but he stepped down having accused the Nigerian Football Federation of a breach of contract.

Oliseh endured a turbulent spell as coach in which his decision to strip Vincent Enyeama of the captaincy prompted the goalkeeper to leave the national team camp.

Unconfirmed rumors has it that the football great will return to coach the three-time African champions and fans are divided over the unconfirmed move.

Fans react

 Football fans have taken to social media to air their opinion about the  unconfirmed development.

@Omaakatugba, a  UEFA sports journalist  said “Sunday Oliseh is not a local coach. He is based in Belgium and has coached in Europe.

“Local coaches are coaches based in Nigeria. It has nothing to do with skin colour or nationality.”

@Emerson , a sports enthusiast posted: “Did I just hear the name of Sunday Oliseh as the Next Super Eagles head coach.

“His first term did not end well and it nearly destroyed the team as a whole.

“Whatever the sports ministry are planning now, They should all stop it’ Im done with Eagles class of 94.”

@Favourafolabi wrote: “Oliseh is one the BOLD ex-Players that would be good as Coach; the other name is Finidi George.

“Yes, Naija didn’t like Oliseh because many still refuse to forgive him for the so-called ‘Arrogance” they claimed he displayed as a Player vs NFA in those days, which is baseless’!

@Phatill posted: “Sunday Oliseh returning to his Ex has got to be shocker to me.

“That’s a toxic relationship nobody wants right now. If true.”

@temitope Twitted: “The issue of employing a local coach by the NFF should not even come up.

‘Sunday Oliseh or whosoever. What is the Obsession of the NFF or Sport ministry with this 94 squad of the Super Eagles.

“Austin Eguavoen should be the last local coach to have coached the Eagles.”
