Nigeria:Sunday Oliseh Link With Super Eagles Job

Former Super Eagles skipper Sunday Oliseh has hinted that he is in talks with the Nigeria Football Association (NFA) about taking over from Berti Vogts as national team handler.
Current Nigeria boss Berti Vogts has failed to receive the backing of the NFA after the team's worst showing at the Africa Cup of Nations for 25 years. "Serving my country is the aim now. Talks are on the way and we'll see what will happen," Oliseh told BBC Sport.
"I wouldn't say no to getting my county out of this mess." "If we are struggling to qualify from the group stages then we are in a mess," he added.
Asked if NFA officials had already spoken to him, Oliseh replied: "No comment."
Nigeria went out of the tournament when they lost 2-1 to Ghana in the quarter-finals, having relied on other Group B rivals to make it to the knockout stage.
Although Vogts remains in the job, a number of names have been linked with his position including former Nigeria striker Daniel Amokachi, Togo coach Stephen Keshi and Nigeria under-23 coach Samson Siasia.
Even former German captain Lothar Matthaus told BBC Sport: "African national teams present an exciting challenge for me". But Oliseh, who won the Cup of Nations with Nigeria in 1994 and reached the final as captain in 2000, said whoever replaces Vogts should have strong coaching credentials and an understanding of the country.
"It's nice to hear that people want to play a part," the 33-year-old said.
"But I really think if you are going to manage a country with 130m people, it would not be bad if you had a UEFA coaching badge and you had played at least to the level of Champions League at the top clubs in Europe. "There are a lot of responsibilities to take just as Mr Vogts found out.”
Amokachi, who also won the Nations Cup with Nigeria in 1994, said the nationality of the new coach would be important.
"It's time for the Nigeria Football Association (NFA) to turn to us Nigeria coaches," the 35-year-old said.
"I'll be the first to apply for the Super Eagles' coaching job if there is a vacancy."
