Samson Siasia
could be in line to
replace Stephen Keshi as Nigeria
coach unless the National Sports
Commission stops the Nigeria
Football Federation (NFF.
Goal exclusively gathered from a
top NFF official at the weekend that
the Super Eagles’ poor results
against Congo where they lost 3-2
in Calabar as well as the goalless
draw away to South Africa has
blotted the impressive record of the
trainer.
A top official of the Nigeria Football
Federation disclosed that “there are
many factors standing in the way of
Stephen Keshi to be re-appointed as
the Eagles chief coach and I will
give you a break-down but before
that I must say that Keshi must be
most grateful to the Honourable
Sports Minister (Tammy Danagogo)
for fighting for his retention as the
chief coach.
“The minister has never hidden his
love and preference for him and he
based it on Keshi’s past
achievement which he said was
more than necessary for him to
continue his job. The minister still
believes that the Eagles under Keshi
could still bounce back and qualify
for the 2015 Afcon in Morocco.
“But we at the NFF here know that
the problem with the team is more
than what we are seeing from the
surface. Firstly, there is no
commitment on the part of the
players Keshi is parading for the
2015 Africa Cup of Nations
qualifiers and if something drastic is
not done, Nigeria may not be
among those nations that would
campaign in Morocco 2015,” the
source who begged for his identity
not to be revealed told Goal.
The NFF source also revealed that
most of the members of the NFF
Executive Board are no longer at
ease with the alleged antics and
disrespect of Keshi towards them
and now want another coach who
would listen to them and respect
them as his employers. They have
also not forgotten in a hurry the
way Keshi allegedly humiliated the
Aminu Maigari Board members
during the Africa Cup of Nations
which Nigeria won in South Africa in
2013 and felt highly disappointed
with the way the Coach received all
the accolades and praises from all
and sundry without mere mention of
the NFF Board and Secretariat.
“We all know how Keshi threatened
to dump the team in South Africa
shortly after the Eagles won the
2013 Afcon. The controversies
generated by this singular action of
his put the NFF then in a bad light
and so many other crises including
the Eagles threatening not to play
one of the qualifying matches for
the last World Cup as well as during
the World Cup proper when the
players demanded for their bonuses
are all crises that have put negative
mark on the NFF.
“So unless the National Sports
Commission decides to use its veto
powers, I don’t think Keshi would be
retained as the Eagles coach. Even
the N6 million that the minister
said he is requesting for cannot be
met by the NFF as a matter of fact.
The NFF is broke for now and the
crisis has not helped matters.

To bring back someone they can manipulate.

Why is your post so unreadable?

NFF, ego and quest to manipulate coaches.

Hmmmm

With issues like this always rearing its ugly head, ai fear for Nigerian football. I wonder when all this people will learn

Andibot: To bring back someone they can manipulate.

they can't even manipulate the guy, he is as stubborn as keshi, the only coach nff can manipulate is amodu shuaib, no ex super egales player can be manipulated by nff, they are all equally stubborn like keshi name them, is it oliseh, okocha, eguavooen, siasia e.t.c. but most nigerians don't know this. The 1994 set of eagles especially see themselves as the best ever and they will hardly listen to anyone who counters their views and opinions on issues. We are on a long thing i tell u

NFF acting like Chelsea since 1960

One thing that Samson Siasia regretted the most after his sack was bowing down to NFF's suggestions as to which player to feature in a match.

Oh so a new contract with a new coach would reduce the brokeness of NFF ba?


I believe he will have to qualify the Eagles before they start paying him-a silly aspect of a contract.

If Sia1 comes back( i dont mind), i hope Nigeria will be ready if he drops musa and mikel again?

Let him come back and discipline those lazy boys.
