Former Super Eagles coach, Sunday Oliseh, has criticized the trend of captains sitting on the bench.
Oliseh described it as an anomaly while speaking on Channel Sports on Sunday.
According to him, the skipper has to be on the pitch leading the rest of the team.
"This I want to call an anomaly, and it started when we began having on-the-bench sitting captains," Oliseh said.
"You can't have that. You can't have your captain sitting on the bench.
