Oliseh Strips Vincent Enyeama Of Captaincy

There was a great disagreement between the new Super Eagles coach, Sunday Oliseh and the Super Eagles captain, Vincent Enyeama yesterday in Belgium. Though the two parties are yet to disclose what led to the big disagreement, Oliseh however phoned in to Brilla Fm this morning, where he told the sports anchor that Ahmed Musa has been named the new captain of Super Eagles and not Vincent Enyeama who has been too busy for him. He further went on to say, just like president Buhari has chosen his ministers, that’s the exact thing he is also doing with the football team.


Shortly after Oliseh’s words, Enyeama also took to his IG page to hint that his coach made a rude statement about his late mom which he will never accept.

It will be recalled that Enyeama buried his mother over the weekend in his home town, with the State Governor, Dep, Governor, commissioners, Local Government chairmen and NFF officials all gracing the occasion. Read what Oliseh told Brila FM first and what Vincent said afterwards all after the cut.


“There is no captaincy tussles …For Nigeria going forward, I need a player who is regular in the team and it is Ahmed Musa, who did a great job in Tanzania under very difficult circumstances,” Oliseh said in a radio interview with Brila FM on Wednesday morning from Belgium.

“He (Musa) is the captain of the team, not somebody who is thinking of retirement.

“A captain has to lead by example. We are not here to build stars.

“If you don’t conform to what I am trying to do, we will be friends, but we will be friends from afar.

“There has been a new government and the President has picked new ministers. And that is what I have also done.”
