NFF sacks Oliseh’s PA, Babangida

Chieftains of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) have dispensed with the services of the personal assistant to the Super Eagles chief coach Tijani Babangida with immediate effect

Babangida’s sack formed part of the highlights of the federation’s execuitve committee meeting held in Abuja on Tuesday with the federation’s communique stating that: “Executive Committee approved the recommendation of the Technical and Development Committee that the backroom staff of the various National Teams be reconstituted immediately, with the exception of the Super Eagles.”

NFF chiefs warned Oliseh to be of good conduct following his apology which was accepted pointing out that: “Executive Committee reviewed the outing of the Super Eagles at the recently-concluded 4th African Nations Championship and the events that followed, and rebuked Head Coach Sunday Oliseh for his unwarranted statements unbecoming of a National Team Coach in both regular and social media. While acknowledging his apology, the Executive Committee made it clear that similar infractions would not be tolerated in future.

“In line with global best practices, the Committee decided that Coach Oliseh MUST henceforth report to the NFF General Secretary and the Technical and Development Committee, and should be ready to defend his entire program before the Committee, including invitation of players and training programs.”
