Ex-Super Eagles shot-stopper reveals why he retired

Former Super Eagles goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama has taken a time-out to address the circumstances that saw him retire from international football at his peak.

The 37-year-old Enyeama bowed of the national team in 2015 following a reported row with eggheads of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) and erstwhile Super Eagles boss Sunday Oliseh.

A ‘fight’ that cost the former Lille shot-stopper the Eagles captain armband before opting to hang his gloves.

Speaking with Get French Football News podcast, the 2013 AFCON winner said, “I never wanted it to end the way that it did but who am I.

“I believe in God, I believe he made it happen, so I accept it… It is a part of my story that I wouldn’t really want to talk about. Because it is a little more complicated that people will know.

“I lost my mum, and I couldn’t represent the country in the match, the coach got angry, the federation got angry and one thing led to the other, which led to the other, which led to the other.

“So the captaincy was taken off me in a manner that I felt shouldn’t have been. And I pulled out. Because all sort of things were said and were done. And I didn’t accept their decision,” Enyeama submitted.
