The 46-year-old is yet to manage any side since he left Fortuna Sittard in 2018, but has now made a u-turn over coaching the three-time African champions again.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy country is my country, nobody can take it from me. You can make any comment you want to make, but I am first [a] Nigerian before anything else,\u201d Oliseh told Channels TV.<\/p>\n

Oliseh reveals country he wants to take his next job<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, if my country really needs me to help out and they ask me to come and do it, I will do it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I will not do it if I am giving the best of my knowledge for my country to work and somebody is just taking it \u2018yes or no\u2019 and then eventually we all fail.<\/p>\n

\u201cI resigned from the Super Eagles because I had decided that when I was sick, I was going to stop because I did not get any help from the federation.\u201d<\/p>\n
