New Super Eagles boss, Sunday Oliseh, has promised to return the team back to its glory days.
The 40-year-old was unveiled as replacement for Stephen Keshi on Wednesday and has signed a three-year contract.
“We have the talent to change our fortunes, to regain the respect we once had and match that with results,” Oliseh told BBC Sport.
“This is the biggest job in African football. With everyone’s support we can get the Super Eagles flying again.”
Oliseh is the fourth member of the hallowed 1994 class to coach the Eagles, after Austin Eguavoen, Samson Siasia and Keshi. He spoke about the magnitude and urgency of the work in front of him.
“I am here today because I believe in the NFF and the big project before us. We had a passionate discussion and the result is the mandate to manage Nigeria,” he said.
“The job doesn’t start tomorrow, it starts now, we need the support of everyone because together we can make our country great.”
