After a challenging two months in charge of the German Regionalliga team, the former Super Eagles coach announced his resignation via phone call. After the German Regionalliga team SV Straelen lost for the fifth time in as many games on Sunday, Oliseh announced his resignation. Straelen was defeated by Fortuna Düsseldorf II 2-0, and Oliseh was dissatisfied with his team’s performance. To the predicted chagrin of the former captain of Nigeria, the team scored just once in five league games and gave up seven goals before announcing his departure.
According to the athletic website of SV Straelen, Oliseh announced his resignation following the loss on Saturday. He is thought to have called the club’s president, Hermann Tecklenburg, and informed him of his choice. The team’s biggest setback under Oliseh was reportedly a 4-3 defeat to St. Pauli of the Bundesliga 2.
During Sunday’s training session, Straelen’s Sporting Director, Kevin Wolze, who has taken over the team’s coaching duties, announced the players. Oliseh had been away from coaching for a while before accepting the position of Straelen coach two months ago, but his brief stay at the club didn’t end well because he was unable to lead the team to any league victories.
