Samson Siasia
In 2005, Samson Siasia coached the under 20 team (Flying Eagles), taking them to the finals of both the 2005 Under-20 World Cup and the U-20 African Youth Championship. He won the African Youth Championship and advanced all the way to the world final – before losing to Argentina 2–1. He also assisted Augustine Eguavoen in coaching the national team.

Samson Siasia was appointed national U-23 coach on January 2007. In 2008, he coached the Nigerian Under-23 Olympic squad to the final against Argentina. In a superbly played series of matches, Nigeria's team earned the Olympic Silver Medals. Earlier in 2008, the U-23 team won the inaugural Intercontinental Cup in Malaysia. This fine team was composed entirely of domestic Nigerian players and won the Cup against many teams headed for the 2008 Summer Olympic Games.

In addition to his position as head coach of the Under 23 Olympic Eagles, he developed a youth academy in the capital city Abuja, called SiaOne Soccer Academy. On 17 March 2009, he was reappointed as the head coach of the under-20 team after the finished a disappointing 3rd in the 2009 African Youth Championship. He received a six-month contract to coach Heartland F.C. in July 2010.[4] On 4 November 2010, he was named as the national team coach to succeed Swedish Lars Lagerbäck. He was fired on 28 October 2011 for failing to take the Nigeria team to the 2012 African Nations Cup in Gabon & Equatorial Guinea.

Siaone remain the answer,if u doubt me go through his match while handling super eagles and see how many matches he won and lost. If am not mistaking he lost only one match throughout his reign (against Argentina) and score handful of goals,hv nt score less than 2 goals in a match. He lost AFCON ticket due to saboutage by Odewinge whom he played just to please nigerians.

Goke7:
unless we make drastic changes in terms of the players we field in our games by bringing in new and uncapped quality players no coach will go anywhere with the current pool of players we've been parading for the last five years even before keshi took over, we are deceiving ourselves thinking its just a coaching problem.

Everyone taught moyes was the problem at manu u until van gaal came and the trend continued, it took the coming in of players like di maria, falcao, blind and others for several millions of pounds to try and remedy the situation at least for now.

we need new and uncapped players now, if not any new coach will just continue the trend we've been seeing of late.

I dont think our primary problem is players.
We're are not talking about the world stage.we're talking about africa now.
We have a great amount of relatively quality players to at least compete on the african stage.
Does congo have better players than nigeria ?.
Does south-africa have better players than nigeria ?.
Does sudan have better players than nigeria ?
Yet these teams are doing better than us currently.
Bro players isnt our main problem.
Our main problem right now is simply the coach.

naijanoni:

Did anybody select players for keshi ?
Isn't it the coach that invites the players and field the players ?.
Who is to invite the "new and uncapped quality players" ?.
THE COACH !!.
But the coach simply chose to invite some of worst players ahead of the best.
So the coach is to blame,becos he makes the decisions on who to invite and who to field.
Can u boldly say the set of players keshi has been inviting are our possible best ??.
Hell no !.Since last year the sets of players keshi has been using is nowhere near our possible best.

Which top coach in the world would invite an austrian league bench-warmer ahead of d dutch league 2nd highest goal scorer ?.
Or a norweigian league bench-warmer ahead of a la liga regular ?

TACTICS

Which top coach would continue to use exactly d same tactics over and over again even when it keeps on failing ??.

Our attack was very useless against SA.
A top coach would have learnt a few things and made one or two changes.
But keshi decided to field exactly d same team against sudan,exactly the same tactics.

We might not have world class players,but we have better players than the ones we keshi has been inviting.

Players may be part of the problem,but 80 percent of the problem is from the coach.

Goke7:


ok o i agree with you keshi is the problem, same thing we said about siasia, eguavoen, amodu, chukwu, westerhof, bora, troussier, bonfere jo and every other coach that has handled the team, they all lacked tactics too, same old story, I just hope we won't back here to complain about the tactics of the new coach too.

naijanoni:

Aside Westerhoff,bonfre jo,siasia keshi.
I never considered the rest as good coaches.
TBH a few months ago,i was one of keshi's biggest fans here on NL.
I defended him like say him bi my papa.
But man at times we've got leave sentiments aside and say d obvious truth.
One thing with these nigerian coaches(siasia and keshi) is that they let little success get into their brain.
Immediately they achieve something,
Their pride and ego get swollen and destroys everything They struggled to build.
A lot of people say keshi won the afcon by mere LUCK,but even till now i strongly disagree with that.
Keshi's strengths has never being tactics,he has never been a great tactician(right from the time he was togo coach),his strength is his coaching mentality and sometimes,his ability to motivate and inspire players(make them kill themselves on d pitch).
Majority of The players keshi used to win the afcon were average players on paper.
One of the reasons we won the afcon was unity,harmony and great understanding between the players,and keshi was the reason for this.
But immediately after winning the afcon,keshi's pride and ego started to swell as usual,he became more arrogant and started fighting with one player after the other.
Since the afcon our team has never been as united.

Same thing happened in togo.
During the 2006 world cup qualifiers,keshi formed a united togolese team.He qualified them for the world cup.
Immediately he qualified them,his pride and ego began to swell as usual,then he started fighting with the players,the FA and everyone.
He was sacked immediately.
Keshi has always been the architect of his own downfall.

He builds something,then he destroys it himself.

Same thing with many nigerian/african coaches.

chucky234:
Dont even think of bringing this dude back to the national team, he knows little about the tactical aspect of the game and only hide behind the expertise of his Dutch friend Simon Kalika.

robosky02:


a wise man doesnt only use his own braine but all the available wise head around.
thats what make Sia one exceptional.

ask Westerhof who was the man reading match and doing the technical work Jo Bonfrere

thats what Keshi fail to learn from Westerhof and that why he is failing ........... not able to read match or have someone do it for him

chucky234:
Both Westerhof and Jo Bonfre were average coaches, you prolly didnt see Siasia's team to the U20 World cup in Egypt, dude is way overrated and the fact that he is jobless says it all.

robosky02:


na waoo
ok even Barca coach was jobless for a while before going to Beryarn

look a good coach is never desperate. they come for him. not by loby
