SV Straelen has appointed former Super Eagles manager Sunday Oliseh as its new head coach ahead of the new season, the German club confirmed on Tuesday.
Oliseh will sign a one-year contract with the club who competes in the Regionalliga West, the German fourth-tier.
“Yes, Sunday Oliseh will be our new coach. A good 14 days ago we had delicious asparagus at the Straelener Hof,” president of the club Hermann Tecklenburg was quoted by waz.de.
“That was a good conversation. In the last 24 hours we were also able to discuss an employment contract until June 30, 2023. On Wednesday 21 June, Sunday will lead the first practice session. We look forward to working together.”
Oliseh has previously coached Verviétois, the Nigeria senior national team and Fortuna Sittard. He had been out of work since managing Fortuna Sittard in 2018. The 47-year-old is now set to return to manager with SV Straelen. The club finished 15th in the Regionalliga West last season.
