Super Eagles' Head Coach, Sunday Oliseh, will return to the country next week, as preparations hit top gear for next month's 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying match against Tanzania in Dar es Salaam.
Super Eagles’ Head Coach, Sunday Oliseh is set to face his first
test as the manager of the national team with the 2017 Africa Cup of
Nations qualifying match against Tanzania in Dar es Salaam coming up in
September, next month.
According to the Vanguard, he is currently in the United Kingdom in
the company of his assistant, Jean Francois Loscuito having strategic
meetings with top Nigerian footballers on sporting issues. Oliseh has
assured Nigerians of achieving maximum points from the match which is
just four and a half weeks away.
“The match in Dar es Salaam is very, very crucial, not only because it will be my first match as Head Coach, but also because we have no choice than to win. The three points are important for us to keep up the tempo in our group", Oliseh said.
“We are on the same three points with Egypt, though they have scored a goal more. That is why we cannot afford any slip along the way. We will deal first with the match in Tanzania, and then we will start thinking about the CHAN qualifiers with Burkina Faso in October, and then the World Cup qualifying fixture in November. There is a lot of work. After these matches, we will now start working towards the two AFCON qualifying matches we have with the Pharaohs in March next year.”
