Nigeria has re-appointed Samson Siasia as Head Coach of the Senior
National Football Team, Super Eagles. He 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.
The combination was recommended by the NFF Technical and Development Committee following Sunday Oliseh’s resignation on twitter in the early hours of Friday.
Contrary to claims by Oliseh that he was being owed wages and did not receive support from the NFF, top officials confirmed to thenff.com
that he was this week paid the sum of N20 million, being salaries for
three months (December 2015, January 2016 and February 2016) and
half-year rent for July-December 2015. He was signed on in July 2015.
The only money he is owed is the bonus for the World Cup qualifier
against Swaziland in Port Harcourt in November 2015, which the NFF had
promised to pay players and officials on resumption of camping for the
matches against Egypt.
Chairman of the NFF Technical and Development Committee, Chris Green told thenff.com:
“The new crew has the mandate to reach out to the very best Nigerian
players anywhere. The matches against Egypt would not be picnics and we
need our very best for those contests.
