We take a look at five Nigerian coaches who caught the eye in 2017. There is an apparent dearth of Nigerian coaches in the top flight with opportunities outside the Nigerian leagues hard to come for them. Amidst this scarcity, one man was able to be distinctive in Europe and he is number one on the list. The other names on the list are all from the Nigerian Professional Football League (NPFL) where they managed to still be exceptional. We take a look at five of these coaches. 1. Sunday Oliseh (Fortuna Sittard) Out of favour with the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Nigerian press, Super Eagles players and thousands of Nigerian footballer observers, Sunday Oliseh abruptly quit his post as coach of the senior national team, his first major job in his budding managerial career. Not much was expected of his career after his turbulent time with the Super Eagles but be bounced back when he was appointed coach of Fortuna Sittard in the Eerste Divisie (Dutch second division).
