Sunday Oliseh makes Ahmed Musa Super Eagles captain

In an interview with Brilla FM this morning, Super Eagles Coach, Sunday Oliseh announced his decision to make Ahmed Musa the captain of Super Eagles. His announcement comes after he and goal keeper and Eagles captain Vincent Enyeama had a faceoff in their camp in Belgium yesterday.

"There is no captaincy tussles. For Nigeria going forward, I need a player who is regular in the team and it is Ahmed Musa, who did a great job in Tanzania under very difficult circumstances. He (Musa) is the captain of the team, not somebody who is thinking of retirement. A captain has to lead by example. We are not here to build stars. If you don’t conform to what I am trying to do, we will be friends, but we will be friends from afar. There has been a new government and the President has picked new ministers. And that is what I have also done." he said
