Former Nigeria coach Sunday Oliseh has shared fears that the Super Eagles could experience a downward spiral following their second-place finish in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, Soccernet.ng reports.
The Super Eagles have always been one of the most talented teams on the continent, but over the years, they have often failed to reach the heights expected of them.
Before the last AFCON in 2023, there were fears about the quality of the team as they were struggling to win games. However, they surprised most football fans and reached the final of the competition, where they suffered a 2-1 loss to hosts Cote d’Ivoire.
Former Super Eagles boss Oliseh was quite impressed with the team’s achievement at the AFCON but fears that history could repeat itself, as Nigeria always suffers a downtrend whenever they achieve success.
Oliseh’s fears are quite justified, as the Super Eagles are currently without a coach after Jose Peseiro left his position. If the Nigeria Football Federation fail to get their acts together, the Super Eagles could experience a bad phase.
