The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has re-appointed Samson Siasia as Head Coach of the Senior National Football Team, Super Eagles. Siasia will work with respected tactician Salisu Yusuf, FIFA U-17 World Cup winner, Emmanuel Amuneke, and Alloy Agu for the upcoming 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Egypt.
The combination was recommended by the NFF Technical and Development Committee following Sunday Oliseh’s resignation on twitter in the early hours of Friday.
Siasia served as Super Eagles’ Head Coach between December 2010 and October 2011, before his contract was terminated following the team’s failure to qualify for the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations.
Amuneke led the Nigeria U-17 boys to a fifth FIFA World Cup title in Chile last year, and was hailed for his excellent comportment and maturity, as well as the tremendous skills of his players.
Salisu Yusuf and Alloy Agu were in the immediate past crew led by Oliseh, and will serve as the bridge with the new team as Nigeria gets set for a potentially–explosive double date with the Pharaohs in March.
Siasia and Amuneke are among few ex-Nigeria internationals who boast impressive track record in coaching.
