Skipper Enyeama And Emenike Out of Super Eagles

Lile of France Goalkeeper, Vincent Enyeama has said his days with the Super Eagles are permanently over, after reports linked him with a return to the team.

The former Super Eagles skipper quit the national team he served for close to 17 years on October 8, 2015 after a row with coach Sunday Oliseh in Belgium. 

Oliseh announced his resignation from the team last Friday, with coach Samson Siasia taking over the reigns in an interim basis. Enyeama and coach Siasia also had a showdown during his first spell with the Eagles.

Speaking yesterday on BrillaFM, Enyeama said:“I don’t want to talk about this issue again. I think my earlier decision stands,”

Similarly, former Super Eagles striker, Emmanuel Emenike, has insisted that he is done with the national team and will not make a return under Samson Siasia.

 

The player, who is currently on loan at West Ham in England, retired from international football last year, while Sunday Oliseh was still the handler of the Eagles. “I’m done with the Super Eagles, and I am making it clear again that I am not going back.It’s my decision and I am not going to reverse it, I am sorry if I have offended anybody regarding this but no Eagles return for me,” he said, according to SportingLife.

 

“Like I said, I didn’t quit because of anybody, it was a personal decision. Oliseh didn’t force me out of the Super Eagles as it was reported, I don’t need anybody to speak with me before I take a decision. It was my decision and I won’t reverse it.”

Emenike made his debut five years ago for Nigeria and was top scorer at the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations, which the Eagles won.
