SUPER Eagles coach, Sun­day Oliseh has said he is un­der pressure to quit Nigeria coaching job following the dismal performance of the team at the African Nations championship in Rwanda.

Oliseh, according to rip­ples.com.ng yesterday re­vealed that he was receiving pressure from friends and family to quit the job and focus on his health, stress­ing that he hoped to meet and discuss with his family before taking his final deci­sion.

“The players are very angry that their last match bonuses have not been paid since their last game against Swaziland on November 17, 2015 and have promised not to show up for subsequent matches,” an official of the team informed Ripples Ni­geria.
