The coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Gernot Rohr is seemingly unhappy with the conduct of the agent of Reading playmaker Michael Olise.
Rohr had talks with the player’s parent and later the player himself over playing for Nigeria which he accepted and was even named in the squad for the last round of AFCON qualifiers.
Due to travel restrictions and passport issues he was placed on standby in the list but subsequently even when players withdrew from the Nigerian team for their last friendly game against Cameroon, he wasn’t considered.
OwnGoalNigeria.com gathered that he has suddenly developed cold feet over the plan to switch nationality to Nigeria as his agent feel he is better off waiting for a chance with the French team.
With one Under-19 cap for France to his name, his representative felt a move to a top team this summer which is very likely will put him in pole position to win more caps for the French youth team.
It is why he has asked for some time to reconsider the option of playing for Nigeria which he earlier accepted. His recent decision hasn’t gone down well with Rohr.
There is also the option of playing for Algeria but that isn’t much an issue like the words of his agent who is keen on his client sticking to his dream of playing for France at least for the main time.
