Former Super Eagles head coach, Sunday Oliseh has said his son, Denzel, will play professional football as a Nigerian.
Oliseh made this declaration amidst rumors and questions about the future of his child’s football career, since Denzel’s mother is half Belgian and half Moroccan.
In a tweet on his Twitter handle, Oliseh replied another of such inquiries by a Twitter user, saying, “Naija” accompanied by emojis of thumbs up and prayer.
While the youngster is eligible to play for either Nigeria or Belgium, Oliseh has hinted that Denzel would follow his father’s footstep by becoming a professional footballer in the super eagles team.
Sunday Ogochukwu Oliseh is a Nigerian football manager and former super eagles player. In his active playing career he played as a defensive midfielder.
Physical yet technically gifted, he played for top European clubs including Ajax, Borussia Dortmund and Juventus.
