Coach Sunday Oliseh has described those criticizing his team or calling for his sack over the failure of the Super Eagles to go beyond the group stage of the last CHAN tournament as insane.
Oliseh who was fielding questions during an interview with sports radio station Brila FM wondered what would be done to the coaches of Ghana, South Africa and Egypt who did not even qualify for this year's CHAN.
Querying the importance of CHAN, Oliseh said that he has done well by losing only two games out of fourteen since he became coach of the Super Eagles.
“I am addressing this insanity that has befallen some of our critics, and I call it insanity because you must be insane to start seeking a plebiscite on the future of the national team coach of Nigeria because we lost CHAN.
“With all due respect, CHAN is probably the least important tournament that is held by CAF and it is a tournament that weighs more on the strength of the leagues against one another; you can see how far Congo have gone and how TP Mazembe did in the African Champions League.
“What then should be done to the Coaches of Ghana, South Africa and Egypt who did not even qualify to this tournament,” he fumed.
The Super Eagles had crashed out of the last CHAN tournament after losing by a lone goal to Guinea in their last group match.
