As Nigerians are angry over the early ouster of home-based Super Eagles in the first round of Rwanda 2016 African Nations Championship (CHAN), Chief Coach Sunday Oliseh has come out to apologise for the crash.

It was condemnation galore on the social media immediately Syli Nationale defeated the Eagles through Ibrahim Sankhon’s 44th minute goal in the third group C match at the Rubavu Stadium Tuesday evening.

The Nigerian team failed to consolidate on the four points they took to the match. They allowed Guinea upstage them with five points to finish second behind Tunisia who beat Niger 5-0.

Coach Oliseh remorsefully apologised to Nigerians on the tweeter handle of the Super Eagles after the disgraceful crash, saying “we apologize to Nigerians for this loss, we never planned to exit the tournament this early. The boys gave their best.”

Soccer loving Nigerians who reacted to the loss on tweeter blamed the misfortune of the Eagles on Oliseh.

To Iwelunmo Isioma, “Oliseh is a confirmed mediocre coach. He never deserved the Super Eagles job.”
