Former Super Eagles Coach Samson Siasia has confirmed that he will be coaching in the Indian Football Association's newly launched Premier League Soccer (PLS). He made a formal announcement on his Facebook wall about an hour ago stating:

'I want to wish you all a happy new year (tho belated). I wanted to wait for the news to officially break before publicly sharing that I will be headed to coach in the Indian Premier League. I am confident of this move & grateful to the leadership/mgmt of the club. I hope you all will continue to follow my journey, as I will surely continue to voice my strong support my brother, Coach Keshi & the team. I am ready and excited for this next phase as football is my life and what I know. I remain SiaOne.'

Samson Siasia is the new coach of the Indian club Durgapur and will earn 210,000 dollars (N33.9m). Austin Jay Jay Okocha has also been signed as a player by the club and will earn 550, 000 dollars (about N88.8m).

The Indian Football Association (IFA) rules for the PLS allows each franchise (club) to sign 4 foreign players and borrows the players' auction format from the highly popular Indian Premier League (Cricket).

The PLS will start in March 2012.
