Super Eagles: 'I was very sick, contracted mumps in Nigeria,' Oliseh reveals

Former Super Eagles coach Sunday Oliseh rejected claims that he abandoned the team when he resigned in 2016, nearly a year after his appointment. In an interview with The Play Zone, he said the Nigeria Football Federation owed him four months of salary and owed his assistant coach six months. Oliseh said he was seriously ill and spent more than 12,000 euros at a Munich hospital, where tests found he had contracted mumps in Nigeria. He added that the illness affected his eyesight, nose and ear, and accused the press of trying to sabotage the team.
