THE Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) yesterday named former national U-23 coach, Samson Siasia, as the new coach of the Super Eagles with the mandate to change the fortunes of the senior national team.
Announcing the choice of Siasia as coach, NFF Technical Committee member, Chris Green, said the federation decided to hand the job to Siasia after talking with him and his closest rival, Stephen Keshi, adding that the decision was in the best interest of Nigerian football.
Green said Siasia’s contract is worth N5 million a month, adding that the Beijing Olympics silver winning coach is entitled to choose his assistant, who will earn N3 million monthly, from any part of the world. Green revealed that the federation and Siasia would meet very soon to iron out other gray areas in the contract, just as he hoped the Heartland of Owerri coach would work hard to return Nigeria to the summit of African football.
