Leave me alone, Enyeama warns Oliseh

In from Nifemi Daniel … .
The Nigeria Football Federation has concluded plans to organize a testimonial match for Vincent Enyeama, saying he deserves “an honourable exit” from the Super Eagles.
NFF President, Amaju Pinnick, while describing the squabbles between coach Sunday Oliseh and Enyeama as unfortunate, stressed the need for peaceful co-existence in the team.
“I told him that he did so well for Nigeria over the past 13-and-half years that he had been there, and by all means, is deserving of a honourable exit,” the NFF boss said.
“Whatever the situation, whether he decides to return to the team or not, the NFF will organise a worthy testimonial match in his honour because he has served the nation so well.

“However, the head coach is in full charge of the team and the camp at all times, and that fact must be respected. The NFF will support and respect the decision of the head coach of any of the national teams at all times.
“Both Oliseh and Enyeama are true heroes of Nigeria football, if you look at what they achieved at different times. But Oliseh is head coach now and in charge of the team. We will continue to respect his contract; our role as a federation is advisory”, he stated.
