[contextly_auto_sidebar]

Former Nigeria handler Sunday Oliseh is expecting the Nigeria Football Federation to pay him and Francois Loscuito their outstanding debts without litigation.

The former Super Eagles captain resigned as coach of the country’s senior national team on February 26, 2016 over unpaid wages plus series of battle with the NFF, media and fans owing to Nigeria’s early exit from the African National Championship.

Oliseh revealed on Twitter that the Amaju Pinnick led board has disregarded letters from his assistant’s [Loscuito] lawyer and fears the Court of Arbitration for Sports could clamp down heavily on the country.

“Hope the NFF will pay coach Losciuto & myself the huge amounts they still owe us without litigation whilst we are alive! Pray they listen!,” he tweeted.

“For 5 months, Losciuto’s lawyers’ letters to D NFF have been ignored. Should CAS suspend Nigeria it is not his fault.B4 they lie 2 you again!”
