After leading the Dream Team VI into the quarter finals of the Rio Olympics, coach Samson Siasia has threatened to quit the team following the ill treatment meted on him by the Minister of Youth and Sports Solomon Dalung.
A source said: “The coach has been calm because of the players who have endured hardship with the team but he is ready to quit if this unending efforts to sabotage his work does not stop.

“Nigerians should know that a lot of people are working against the U-23 Eagles and Siasia is very upset but he has been keeping his cool and that is why he has not replied any of the accusations coming from the Sports Ministry and the minister, Solomon Dalung.

“Don’t be surprised if by the time the victory dance is over, the coach sends in his resignation letter.

“He has had it to the hilt and is no longer willing to continue.”

A member of the team also said: “Even Mikel that the Minister is always talking to is not pleased with the development.

“If not that Mikel is quite humble and able to manage the situation, the crisis in the team would have become an open issue.

“But each time, he goes back to the coach to pledge his loyalty and explain to him that he was not in support of the Minister’s actions.”

Recall that Siasia recently opened up about being owed five months salary by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) and also called for financial assistance when the team were cashed-strapped in their base in Atlanta.
