After initial assurances
given to former Super Eagles Coach Sunday Oliseh by his Dutch second division
side Fortuna Sittard that his position as head coach is not threatened, the
club Wednesday formerly parted ways with the former Eagles Captain for what the
club dubbed inevitable decision.
The club which has been
on losing streak for some time now however said the Oliseh's sack has nothing
to do with his recent inability to win matches but his behavior and attitude
towards management and staff including players which has become too tough to
bear. The club accused Oliseh of making
the working relation within the club frosty, adding that efforts made by
management to get Oliseh to repent fell on deaf ears.
In what could pass for
keeping the record straight and speaking out of the abundant of the heart, the
club via its verified twitter handle said
"Fortuna Sittard
has immediately put its coach Sunday Oliseh on non-active. The club management
makes this decision as a result of the repeatedly culpable actions for a longer
period by the trainer towards several persons in the organization.
Several attempts by the
club to move the trainer to other behavior remained unfortunately without
result, resulting in an unworkable situation as a result.
The board of Fortuna
Sittard emphasizes that the decision to sack Sunday Oliseh is not motivated by
the current sporting performance. Because of his inadmissible actions, the
coach has made the cooperation with many people within the organization
impossible, from players, to employees. Fortuna Sittard regrets the decision,
but states that the club interest goes above all else.
Oliseh joined Sittard on
the 27th December 2016 shortly after leading Eagles to first round ouster in
the 2016 edition of Championship of African Nations (CHAN) in Rwanda.
Fortuna Sittard have
played and lost five matches back to back between 12th January and 12th
February, even as they host Telstar without Oliseh on Friday.
