FRIENDS OR FOES!!! Siasia Wants Keshi's Job Again

In an interview on a Radio Nigeria programme, Siasia said that concerted efforts are needed to rescue Nigeria’s football from its present mess.

“As we’re talking now, the Super Eagles are scheduled to start qualification matches for next year’s African Cup of Nations in less than two weeks and we still don’t know who will be in charge for those two September games,” he said, stressing that it is not supposed to be that way.

Asked specifically if he is still interested in the post in view of the stalled negotiations with his successor, Siasia replied, “Of course! It is a thing of pride to be in charge of your country’s team and I’ve always felt I have an unfinished business with the Super Eagles considering the way I was sacked wasn’t the right way to go.”


Meanwhile, Keshi, who led the team to the round of 16 at this year's FIFA World Cup, is angered with the way the negotiations have turned out, saying that several other African countries approached him with coaching opportunities recently.

“I've had about seven countries approach me in the last two months but I kept them all away,” he disclosed.

He says the NFF's recent string of problems is taking away vital focus from the success of the team.
