Former Super Eagles coach, Sunday Oliseh, has been named the head coach of Dutch second division side, Fortuna Sittard.
BBC reports that Sunday Oliseh signed an 18-month contract with Fortuna Sittard but has an option to extend it for another season.
Meanwhile, Fortuna Sittard confirmed his appointment on their website. The former Super Eagles captain and gaffer will take charge of training at Fortuna Sittard for the first time on 2nd January.
The club’s Turkish owner, Isitan Gün, said he was ‘very happy’ to announce Oliseh’s arrival.
“With Sunday Oliseh we signed a young and ambitious coach with vision, one players look up to,” Gün said.
“We were looking for someone who plays attractive football combining it with the will to win. We think Sunday is the right one for this job,” Gun added.
Oliseh previously played in the Netherlands with Ajax Amsterdam between 1997 and 1999. He also played for Juventus and Borussia Dortmund during his club career and earned 63 caps for Nigeria.
Sunday Oliseh resigned as coach of the Super Eagles team earlier this year in the middle of a world cup qualifying campaign, citing unresolved troubles with the Nigerian football federation.
Before taking on the role of head coach with Nigeria, Oliseh had previously coached Belgian lower tier side Verviétois.
Congrats to him
