I am prepared for the job ana I wish to need the clamour from Nigerians who have asked me variously to come back and help the country," the Belgium-based Oliseh said.He noted that: "Since 2002, we have struggled with our tactical set-up and nave had to win most games by luck. And this is getting worse and worse."I believe with the help of other positive people we can stop this rot and get the Eagles back on their feet and winning again."I have worked as a coach for two years and have a UEFA A licence, which makes me as qualified as any foreign coach Nigeria would want to hire.''And besides this education, I know the mentality of the players because I am still one of them."Oliseh, who was first interviewed for the Eagles top job in 2008 along with the Tikes of Shaibu Amodu and Stephen Keshi, has also posted his desireon his Twitter handle Saturday.An international spanning over 10 years since 1992, Oliseh also said he is willing to work under a more experienced coach as technical adviser."As long as such a person (technicaladviser) is a positive person like me, I will be ready to work under him," he said.The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) are yet to decide on the future of Eagles coach Samson Siasia, who earlier this month failed to qualify the country to next year's Africa Cup of Nations."The decision of who will be the Eagles coach rests with the NFF, it is up to them to do what they have to do," said Oliseh."
