Oliseh turns down coaching offers from South Africa, China

Sunday Oliseh has revealed that he rejected three offers from two South African teams, so he can focus more on his duties with FIFA.

The former Super Eagles coach has returned to the FIFA Technical Study Group (TSG), after resigning as coach of Nigeria’s national team in February, also snubbing an offer from China.

“The Nigerian job was an eye-opener for me and I think I want to focus more on my job with FIFA at the moment,” Oliseh told Completesportsnigeria.com.


“There are offers at the moment and I have turned down three teams from the Southern part of Africa.”

Oliseh is currently preparing to work as an analyst during the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio, Brazil in August.

“For a while I’d love to analyse matches at international tournaments going on and learn the latest trends in the game and also develop myself more,” he said.
