One time Super Eagles technical adviser, Sunday Oliseh will become almost N11million naira richer, based on the fact that Nigeria will be playing at Russia 2018 FIFA World Cup event.

The former national team captain left his job under cloudy circumstances.

Oliseh was coach of the Super Eagles of Nigeria from June 2015 to February 2016 when he resigned abruptly after falling out with the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).

Before his resignation, Oliseh led the Super Eagles to two games of the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, the two-legged second preliminary matches against Swaziland.

For those two games, the former Super Eagles midfielder will receive N10.8m ($30,000).

The money is part of the $8m the NFF are getting from FIFA for Nigeria’s qualification of the World Cup.

FIFA stipulate that all the player and coaches who took part in the World Cup qualifying matches will be paid.

Nigeria beat Swaziland in World Cup qualifiers

Under Oliseh in November 2015, the Super Eagles were held to a goalless draw by Swaziland in the first leg of that second round preliminary game.

Goals from Moses Simon and Efe Ambrose gave Nigeria a 2-0 win in the second leg played at the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium in Port Harcourt to sure the Super Eagles progressed to the group stage of the qualifiers.

After Oliseh resignation, German coach Gernot Rohr led the Super Eagles to finish top of Group B to qualify for the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
