Super Eagles goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama is considering his future with the Nigeria team after being stripped off the captaincy by coach Sunday Oliseh. Enyeama arrived a day late for the training camp after attending his mother's funeral this past weekend and Oliseh was reported upset with his tardiness and booted him from the camp.
Nigeria Football Federation president Amaju Pinnick had to intervene and reinstate the 33-year-old back to the camp. Read Enyeama's comment after the cut
"I was surprised. So I stood up to explain my position and ask for an explanation, but the coach asked me to sit down. I insisted on speaking because I felt that with the years of dedicated service I have given to the country I deserve at least the respect of giving my own side. But he told me that either the whole team would leave the room for me, or I would have to leave the room for the whole team. There has been a lot of incidents these last few months. I don't need it, the team does not need it, so maybe the best thing might be to step aside in the interest of the country so that the team can focus on football instead of distractions."
