for another season.
Fortuna Sittard confirmed his appointment on their website,
saying he will take charge of training at Fortuna Sittard for the first time on

The club's Turkish owner, Isitan
Gün, said he was 'very happy' to announce Oliseh's arrival.
"With Sunday Oliseh we signed a
young and ambitious coach with vision, one players look up to," Gün said.
"We were looking for someone
who plays attractive football combining it with the will to win. We think
Sunday is the right one for this job," Gun added.

helped the Super Eagles win the 1994 Africa Cup of Nations and Olympic gold in
