The Nigeria Football Federation top brass are mulling over
sacking U-23s head coach Samson Siasia,
Completesportsnigeria.com can exclusively report.
A Completesportsnigeria.com source at the Glass House
revealed that the country’s football governing body
executives are miffed at Siasia for speaking with the press
over the non-payment of salaries.
Peeved by Siasia's outburst, which was celebrated by the
media in midweek, the body is toying with the idea of
restructuring the Super Eagles coaching crew, a decision that
would see Salisu Yussuf deployed as U-23 Eagles head coach
with Fatai Amao and Ogunbote as assistants.
Completesportsnigeria.com can also report Siasia has been
ordered to respond to the query issued to him to explain
why he should not be sanctioned.
According to our source, the NFF officials were irritated on
the grounds that Siasia and other national team coaches
were told why salaries were being delayed and that efforts
are in top gear to ensure the salaries are paid soonest.
NFF’s cash flow has been hampered by the new rule which
states that the country’s soccer governing body must run
only one revenue account.
“Siasia is facing the sack except there is a divine intervention
because the NFF is serious angry with him for going on air to
spread the dirty linen in public," the NFF source said.
"He is not the only coach we are owing. Amuneke and Salisu
Abubakar too are still being owed and these people have not
gone to the press to make such claims.
"We explained to them the cause of this problem and then
appealed to the coaches to be patient only for Siasia to go to
the press."
