Former Nigeria international, Samson Siasia has exclusively told supersport.com that the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) never wanted him as head coach of the Super Eagles.
Siasia coached the Nigeria national team between 2010 and 2011 but was sacked following the Super Eagles’ failure to qualify for the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations in Gabon and Equatorial Guinea.
With his successor, Stephen Keshi successfully steering the Super
Eagles to a place at the 2013 finals in South Africa, Siasia has now
revealed that he lived on borrowed time as Nigeria head coach.
“These guys (at the NFF) never wanted me. It was the Nigerian public that actually wanted me to coach the Super Eagles. What the NFF did was to invite a lawyer from the United States during the signing of my contract. It was like a set-up and I ended up signing a bad contract,” Siasia told supersport.com.
Siasia said "several things happened" which prevented him from delivering the 2012 Afcon ticket to Nigerians.
“I wanted to get that ticket for Nigerians but several things
happened and I failed. But in life you have to learn from your mistakes
and I have learnt,” he said.
The former Nantes striker then took the time to voice his sentiments about a proposed return to the national team as coach.
“When I come back again as coach of the Super Eagles, I will not
make the mistakes I made earlier. I will get a lawyer to look at the
contract. They will advise me on what to do.
“(Present Nigeria coach), Stephen Keshi has the same contract and it
is sad. It is sad because if (the NFF) continues to fire coaches at
will, when are we going to have a coach that will stay for a very long
time to build a good team?
“That’s why Nigeria continues to fail at international level,” he concluded.
