No One Has Contacted Me Since 2015 – Enyeama
…I can’t say no to Nigeria
Former Nigeria goalkeeper and captain, Vincent Enyeama, has opened his door for a possible return to the Super Eagles, even though nobody had contacted him since 2015 he quit the national team under acrimonious circumstances, Bestchoicesports.com.ng can report
Enyeama, who quit from international football after making a record 101 appearances for Nigeria in 2015, is currently without a club since August 2018 when his contract with French side Lille was terminated by mutual consent and had a failed trial with another Ligue 1 outfit, Dijon, two months ago.
However, the 37-year-old is having a second thought about his National team career, and said in an interview on Friday that should the country call for his services, he would oblige them.
“I cannot say no to Nigeria, that’s the truth,” Enyeama said.
“If Nigeria tells me today ‘Vincent, we have goalkeeping problem; we need you’, I will be there. I can’t say no.
Following his bitter retirement from the national team in 2015 after falling out with former coach Sunday Oliseh, the former Lille goalkeeper also said that no one from the NFF has reached out to ask him to overturn his decision and return to the Eagles.
“Since I left Nigerian football in 2015, no one has contacted me.”
