Two former Nigerian national team coaches, Christian Chukwu and Austin Eguavoen believe Sunday Oliseh is “the right man for the Super Eagles at this time” after NFF confirmed the former Juventus star is in line to replace coach, Stephen Keshi.

Keshi was fired at the weekend and the NFF confirmed on Wednesday that it had held talks with Oliseh in London over the vacant Nigeria role.
Chukwu who managed the Super Eagles between 2003 and 2005 is certain Oliseh’s appointment will bode well for the Super Eagles.

“I have no doubt in my mind that Oliseh is the right man for the Super Eagles at this time. He has played under some of the best coaches in the world and as such, has a lot of experience,” Chukwu said.

Oliseh’s only previous coaching experience was in the Belgian fourth-tier with Verviétois but Chukwu does not think that will be a factor.
