Enyeama’s Retirement From International Football Leaves Nigerians In A State Of Shock

Nigeria was shocked to hear that its most capped player Vincent Enyeama would be retiring after a clash with coach Sunday Oliseh.

Enyeama retired from the international football after the shot-stopper fell out with Coach Sunday Oliseh in the team’s camp in Belgium.

The drama in Belgium allegedly started after Oliseh told Enyeama to leave the camp for questioning his choice of Ahmed Musa as captain.

Enyeama denied this allegation saying his confrontation with gaffer Sunday Oliseh arose after his dead mother was insulted.
