“They had their motives and what I did was in the best interest of the country,” Oliseh began.

“While I was coach of the team they tried to hire Renard who turned them down citing three major reasons,” Oliseh told Complete Sports.

“When I sought their aid to effectively carry out my duties I was ignored and instead of the helping me getting the players to give their best and placing them in a very good conditions at an advantages to the team play, they had plans to derail the progress of the team’s chances.

“The most important objective is for the Super Eagles Of Nigeria to qualify to the next AFCON and the World Cup 2018,”
