Super Eagles coach Sunday Oliseh says the Nigeria National
team don't have top players playing for top clubs, in various European leagues.
The 40-year-old made this known in an interview on
Fifa.com, where he also admitted that even though he finally felt ready for the
job, he hesitated to accept the challenging offer.
Nigeria currently boast two players Victor Moses and John
Obi Mikel, both not regulars at English Premier League team Chelsea, as they
are top players in a top club but, Oliseh says he is hopeful they can fashion
out a winning formula with the potentials in the team.

“To coach Nigeria is not the easiest job in the world and one
is only as good as the players. Nigeria at the moment has a lot of potential,
but we don't have a lot of confirmed players in the top clubs in the top
leagues, so taking over the national team now means we have to remake the whole
team and introduce a new philosophy of playing style, culture and mentality,"
he said.
