Former Nigeria international, Tijani Babangida, has been appointed special assistant and liaison officer to Super Eagles coach, Sunday Oliseh.
Both Babangida and Oliseh played together at top Dutch club, Ajax Amsterdam and have maintained a close bond ever since.
It was specially gathered that Babangida will join up with the Eagles training camp when it opens in Abuja next Sunday to prepare for next month’s AFCON qualifier in Tanzania.
