Former Nigeria Great Samson Siasia Handed Life Ban By Fifa by flemsy15(m): 4:24pm On Aug 16, 2019 |
Former Nigeria coach Samson Siasia has been banned for life and
fined $50,000 by Fifa for agreeing to 'the manipulation of matches.'
Siasia was coach of Nigeria between 2010-2011 and for a spell in 2016
but the time period when Fifa believes he committed his infractions is
unclear.
He has also served as coach of the country's Under-20 and Under-23
sides.
In a statement, Siasia was found 'guilty of having accepted that he
would receive bribes in relation to the manipulation of matches.'
The sanction stems from an ongoing 'large-scale investigation' Fifa is
conducting into the behaviour of Wilson Raj Perumal, a convicted
match-fixer from Singapore.
He is the third African to be banned by Fifa for his links to Perumal
after former Sierra Leone FA official Abu Bakarr Kabba and former
Botswana FA official Mooketsi Kgotlele were suspended in July for
five years and for life respectively.
A former international, Siasia won the 1994 Africa Cup of Nations with
Nigeria, for whom he played over 50 times while scoring 16 goals.
