As the zero hour approaches for the must win double header AFCON qualifier against
the Pharaohs of Egypt on March 23, Sports Vanguard can reveal the real reasons
why coach Sunday Oliseh may continue to tinker the Eagles from his base in
Belgium.
After contracting a virus in one of his official assignments, camp sources informed
that the former Juventus player has alleged occultic manipulations by his enemies on
his life and has vowed to flee far from the country to where they could not fly to
attack him.

“He is always scared in camp and suspicious of even members of his back room
staff”, a close source to the team informed.
The source said that the outspoken coach allegedly confronted his staff and warned
them that there were many witches and wizards who were trying to undermine the
success of the Eagles.
“He warned those fond of putting their hands in their pockets before shaking him to
desist or keep their handshakes as he feared they touch objects concealed in their
pockets before offering to shake him”, the source said. Also, the coach alleged that
many of the people surrounding him do not believe in the success of the team as he
claimed that they don’t rejoice when the Eagles score goals.
Beyond the trivial accusations of witches and wizards, Sports Vanguard also gathered
that the coach had written to the federation to pay his outstanding N10 million
accommodation fee as agreed in his contract(N5 million for 2015 and another N5
million for 2016) if they want him to reside in Nigeria as he said he would not stay in
the hotels when the Super Eagles are not in camp.
