An ex-captain of the Nigerian national team, Sunday Oliseh, has again kicked against the trend of appointing foreign head coaches.
According to Oliseh, competent indigenous coaches are being unfairly overlooked.
The former Juventus and Borussia Dortmund midfielder made these comments while speaking on Channels Sports on Sunday.
"I am totally against having that role not being handed over to a Nigerian because we have qualified Nigerians who can do that job," Oliseh said.
His remarks come as the Super Eagles are currently coached by French-born former Mali international, eric Chelle.
