Former Super Eagles coach, Samson Siasia, has been
re-appointed coach of the national team. Siasia got the big job back on
Friday as replacement for his former colleague, Sunday Oliseh, who
resigned.
Siasia will work with respected tactician Salisu Yusuf, FIFA U-17
World Cup – winner Emmanuel Amuneke and Alloy Agu for the upcoming 2017
Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Egypt.
Recall that Siasia worked as Eagles’ Head Coach between December 2010
and October 2011, before his contract was terminated following the
team’s failure to qualify for the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations.
Amuneke led the Nigeria U-17 male to a fifth FIFA World Cup title in
Chile in 2015. Salisu Yusuf and Alloy Agu were in the immediate past
crew led by Oliseh.
I wish Siasia well in his new job, hoping that he has learnt his lessons from past experience(s).
