Newly appointed Chief Coach of the Super Eagles, Sunday Oliseh is expected to arrive Nigeria tomorrow ahead of his scheduled unveiling by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF). He will be coming with chairman of the technical committee of the federation, Felix Anyansi-Agwu.
A source at the NFF told Sports Vanguard over the weekend that the former Super Eagles captain who met in London last week with chieftains of the federation will be joined by Anyansi-Agwu from the United States of America before they return to the country.

According to our source, the new coach would be unveiled later in the week after the meeting of the executive committee of the NFF scheduled to take place on Wednesday in Abuja.
He also debunked talks making the rounds that the NFF president, Amaju Pinnick single-handedly negotiated and employed Oliseh insisting that the technical committee headed by Ayansi-Agwu was involved in the discussions from the first day.
“Let me tell you that the chairman of the technical committee of the NFF will be returning to the country on Tuesday with our new coach, Sunday Oliseh, and it is expected that he will be duly unveiled within the week; and the board of the NFF will be meeting on Wednesday hopefully in Abuja to deliberate on a number of issues.
“It is also not true that the NFF president alone negotiated the contract of Oliseh because the chairman of the technical committee, Ayansi-Agwu was involved. The only thing is that unlike some people, Ayansi is a very quiet man; he is not the noisy type that will want everybody to hear them. But the interesting thing is that the NFF president is very happy with his technical committee chairman and they are working very harmoniously.”
The NFF last week announced the appointment of Sunday Oliseh as a replacement for sacked coach, Stephen Keshi. The former Juventus of Italy midfielder who has been handed a five-year contract is expected among other things map out a developmental plan for the national teams.
