Enyeama Is Lying Against Me! - Sunday Oliseh

The head coach of the Super Eagles, Sunday Oliseh, has expressed his disappointment over what he tagged as assassination of his character by the former number one goal keeper of the national team, Vincent Enyeama.

According to Oliseh:

“There is a level to how far you can go in character assassination by Enyeama. This is unheard of,” he said.

He further revealed how he was eager to have Enyeama on board, prompting him to drive to France to have lunch with him.

“I took him to lunch and shared my coaching philosophy with him,” narrated Oliseh.

“He was talking about retirement from the national team, which I didn’t like.

“In 2008, he was dropped (by Berti Vogts) to second or third goalkeeper because of this and under Sammy (Siasia), he also had problems.”
