Following SV Straelen's fifth consecutive defeat in the German Regionalliga, Sunday Oliseh, the former Super Eagles coach, has 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 major highlight under Oliseh was said to be a 4-3 loss to Bundesliga 2 side, St. Pauli.
Straelen’s Sporting Director, Kevin Wolze who has taken over the coaching duties of the team made the announcement to the players during Sunday’s training session.
“Sunday obviously had the feeling that the team could no longer be reached. We have to accept this decision. It doesn’t make sense to try to persuade him to continue,” said Wolze.
“Obviously things have changed in the meantime. We started the season with five defeats and are currently bottom of the table. In addition, the squad is standing. We will take the necessary time to find a suitable successor,” he concluded.
