The former Nigeria
coach and captain, Sunday Oliseh, has been appointed as head coach of the Dutch
second tier club Fortuna Sittard.
Oliseh, who stood
down as Super Eagles coach ten months ago, previously played for Dutch giants
Ajax from 1997 to 1999.
Fortuna Sittard
confirmed his appointment on their website, saying he had signed an 18-month
contract.
Oliseh, 42, has an
option to extend it for another season.
He will take charge
of training at Fortuna Sittard for the first time on 2 January.
The club's Turkish
owner, Isitan Gün, said he was 'very happy' to announce Oliseh's arrival.
"With Sunday
Oliseh we signed a young and ambitious coach with vision, one players look up
to," Gün said.
"We were
looking for someone who plays attractive football combining it with the will to
win. We think Sunday is the right one for this job," Gun added.
Oliseh, who also
played for Juventus and Borussia Dortmund during his club career, earned 63
caps for Nigeria.
He helped his
country win the 1994 Africa Cup of Nations and Olympic gold in 1996.
Before taking on the
role of head coach with Nigeria, Oliseh had previously coached Belgian lower
tier side Verviétois.
