Oliseh was appointed Super Eagles manager in July 2015 and the former Juventus star stayed in the position till February 2016.

“I sent messages to John Obi Mikel, but he never answered my call. He never called me back. He totally ignored me and played the big ego.

”I went to London with my assistant to speak with Mikel and Victor Moses. I gave them an appointment at the hotel, two teammates at the same club. Moses came to the meeting, the other one refused to come,” he said.
