Former Nigeria international, Samson Siasia has expressed his willingness to manage the Super Eagles once again.
Siasia, who has recently completed a five-year ban for match-fixing, is now free to return to football. The former Flying Eagles coach finished serving his ban this week.
The position of Super Eagles head coach has been vacant since June following the resignation of his former teammate, Finidi George. Siasia, 57, has stated that he is ready to take on the role once more.
“I am not a Messiah, but we need to sit down and identify our priorities,” Siasia said on Kennis FM’s Sports Salsa. “We will see how things unfold.”
Siasia has previously managed the Super Eagles on two occasions. He first took over in November 2010, replacing Swedish coach Lars Lagerbäck, but was dismissed after the team failed to qualify for the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations. He also had a brief stint as head coach in 2016 following Sunday Oliseh’s resignation.
