Super Eagles Head Coach, Sunday Oliseh has expressed shock
over the resignation of Nigerian International and on-loan Fenerbache player, Emmanuel Emenkie, who on Tuesday, October 20, 2015
announced his retirement
from international football, after a barren spell in
front of goal.
Oliseh who reacted to the news, said:
"It’s a big surprise and shock to all of us to hear of his resignation."
While dismissing speculations that the coach might drop the
player from the Eagles squad for next month’s World Cup qualifier against
Swaziland because he has not scored for the Eagles for two years, Oliseh said:
"Eh, Come on! You know me better than that. There is no water to that story and it did not emanate from me. I’ve not spoken to anybody(Journalist) concerning the team. I was surprised when I read the story attributed to me. Immediately, I called him but he did not pick his call and the Team’s scribe Dayo Enebi Acho also called him without success."
"I’m shocked and surprised. We had no issues and he had played four times since I took over the team. He’s a great player", Oliseh added.
