Oliseh Attacks Dutch Club Over Sacking…… Reveals Why He Was Fired
Tunisia ’ 94 Africa Cup of Nations winner Sunday Oliseh was on Wednesday ‘ suspended ’ by struggling Dutch second division club Fortuna Sittard over “ unacceptable actions ” .
Oliseh , who was appointed by the Eerste Divisie side as their manager on December 27 , 2016 came under pressure from the outfit ’ s hierarchy after the team slid down the table after suffering their fourth straight loss .
The former Ajax and Juventus midfielder , who became a cult hero at Fortuna Sittard Stadion after helping Sittard escape relegation last season , was reportedly sacked by the club last month , but the Dutch side denied the reports .
Fortunezen, who are desperate to gain an automatic promotion to the Dutch top -flight at the end of the season , also denied they were at loggerheads with the former Nigeria coach .
But the club announced on their official website on Wednesday that they had asked Oliseh to step aside .
Sittard also announced that they had appointed their youth team ’ s head coach Claudio Braga as the senior team ’ s caretaker manager “ until the club has found a new trainer ” .
“ Several attempts by the club to encourage a change in the coach ’ s behaviour have unfortunately not worked , resulting in an unworkable situation , ” the club said .
“ The board of Fortuna Sittard emphasises that the decision to suspend Sunday Oliseh is not motivated by the current sporting performance . ”
“ The coach ’ s unacceptable actions have made cooperation between many people within the organisation impossible – from players to employees .
“ Fortuna Sittard regrets the decision , but states that the club interest goes above all else. ”
Oliseh left his job as the Super Eagles manager in February 2016 under a cloud of controversy .
He was alleged to have left after falling out with his players and some top officials of the Nigeria Football Federation .
However , Oliseh fired back on his Twitter account , claiming that the club decided to suspend him because he refused to play ball .
The Atlanta ’ 96 Olympic Games gold medallist wrote , “ I confirm: due to my refusal to participate in illegal activities at Fortuna Sittard and violate the law , I have been suspended from my duties as coach by the foreign owners of Fortuna.
“ Unfortunate for the lovely fans , my players and our hard -fought phenomenal positioning for promotion . ”
