August 24, (THEWILL) – SV Straelen lost for the fifth time in as many games in the German Regionalliga, prompting manager, Sunday Oliseh, to announce his resignation.
Straelen latest 2-0 defeat to Fortuna Düsseldorf II, and Oliseh was dissatisfied with his team’s performance. To the chagrin of the former captain of the Super Eagles of Nigeria, the team scored just once in five league games and conceded seven goals leaving Oliseh no choice, but to resign.
The 47-year-old announced his resignation following that loss on Saturday. He is thought to have called the club’s president, Hermann Tecklenburg, and informed him of his decision to vacate his position in the team’s dugout.
During Sunday’s training session, Straelen’s Sporting Director, Kevin Wolze, who has taken over the team’s coaching duties, made the announcement to the players. The team’s biggest setback under Oliseh was reportedly a 4-3 defeat to St. Pauli of the Bundesliga 2.
