Congratulations! You have joined our family

Considering the decision of the newly announced head coach of the Nigerian national football team, Super Eagles, some interesting facts are playing out on why Oliseh may be most comfortable to work with Jean Francois Losciuto from Belgium as his assistant.
The assistant, Losciuto is a Belgian who has coached several African teams, who is based in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.
Besides being assistant to Sunday Oliseh while at Verviétois in Belgium where the new former Super Eagles captain was head coach, he was the coach of Rwandan club, Rayon Sport FC which he left for ASFA Yennenga of Burkina Faso in 2014.
The new Super Eagles assistant coach also holds a UEFA coaching license like his boss, Sunday Oliseh.
Sunday Oliseh and the Belgian met in Liege, his hometown where Oliseh started his international footballing career.
