Oliseh, who became the Super Eagles coach in 2015 following Nigeria’s failure to qualify for the Africa Cup of Nations, spoke on his YouTube channel and Oliseh’s Global Football Insights Podcast about the challenges.
“When I was coaching the Super Eagles, we didn’t have the equipment,” he said.
He recalled times when training sessions had to be postponed because the team had no extra jerseys, waiting for washed kits to dry before practice could continue.
“It was surprising to me because I knew that a strong country like ours should not have trouble getting sponsors,” Oliseh added, pointing to the unexpected difficulty of securing basic gear in a football-loving nation.
Despite these obstacles, Oliseh achieved notable successes.
He led the CHAN Eagles to qualify for the African Nations Championship in Rwanda and maintained a strong record with the senior team, losing just two games and scoring 19 goals while conceding six in 14 matches before departing in February 2016.

The Opawole and Daniel families mourn the passing of their beloved matriarch, Chief Mrs. Sabainah Ibironke Opawole, née Osoba, who died peacefully after a brief illness on Thursday 2nd of July, 2026 at the age of 93.
Born on 23rd April 1933 to Princess Mariam Ladigbolu of the revered Ladigbolu family of Oyo Kingdom and the Late Rev. O. Osoba of Olodo Village, Abeokuta, the late Princess Sabainah lived a long and graceful life anchored in faith. She was a devoted Christian of the Baptist denomination until her passing, and her life stood as a quiet testament to devotion, family, and enduring values.
She is survived by several children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, including Her Excellency Yeye Olufunke Daniel, former First Lady of Ogun State and wife of Otunba Senator Gbenga Daniel. Her passing has drawn an outpouring of condolences from family, friends, and associates across Ogun State and beyond, many of whom remember her as a woman of grace, strength, and unshaken faith.
The family has confirmed that funeral arrangements will be announced publicly in due course, and has appealed for prayers and understanding as they navigate this period of loss.
