Ex Super Eagles of Nigeria head coach, Samson Siasia has revealed that he can’t apply to be the coach of the team at the moment.
Recall that Siasia first became the coach of the national team in 2010 and lasted in that position for one year. He also became the coach of the team in 2016 before he took the Under-23 team to the 2016 Olympics where he helped the Nigerian team to win Silver in the Beijing Olympics.
The ex–coach was banned from football-related activities for five years for alleged match-fixing. Despite claiming that he was innocent, he has obeyed the ban for almost five years.
Since Samson Siasia has months to the expiration of his ban, most football enthusiasts speculated that he had applied to be the coach of the Super Eagles, a position that has been vacant since Jose Peseiro’s contract with the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) expired on February 29, 2024.
Ekweanaedo News gathered that the ban will be over officially in August 2024 which means that he is not permitted to take a managerial job in the next five months.
In an interview with Complete Sports, Siasia revealed that he didn’t apply for the vacant position because FIFA hasn’t lifted his ban from the game.
