Former Nigeria international, Sunday Ogochukwu Oliseh rejected the offer from Cameroon’s Football Federation (FECAFOOT) to coach the Indomitable Lions while he was still the Chief Coach of the Super Eagles, Sportinglife reveals exclusively today.
Sportinglife gathered further that Oliseh politely told his suitors that he couldn’t dump his fatherland to coach Cameroon irrespective of the huge difference in what he was earning coaching the Nigerian side and what the Cameroonians were offering, insisting that he was enjoying his job with the Eagles.
Those close to the tactician revealed that the coach, on the hindsight is ruing the missed opportunity to handle the Indomitable Lions following the unceremonious manner in which he resigned from the plum Eagles job.
The Cameroonians moved on from appointing Oliseh to secure the services of Hugo Broos, a Belgian, born on April 10, 1952.
