Nigerian Sunday Oliseh has been suspended as manager of Dutch Eerste Divisie side Fortuna Sittard. In a statement, the club said it suspended the former Super Eagles captain due to “unacceptable actions”. “Fortuna Sittard regrets the decision, but states that the club interest goes above all else.” It said Oliseh’s relationship has left an “unworkable situation” at the club. Despite finishing just above the drop zone last season, the club is currently 3rd in the Eerste Division. But the statement explained that the decision was not “motivated by the current sporting performance”. But confirming the club’s decision on Twitter, Oliseh said he just refused to “participate in illegal activities”.
