Siasia, Amodu early front runners to replace Oliseh

Nigeria U23 coach Samson Siasia and former Eagles coach Shuaibu Amodu are the early front runners to replace Sunday Oliseh after he quit as the country’s coach.

It was specially gathered that when earlier this month the technical committee recommended for the dismissal of Oliseh,Siasia was picked as stop-gap coach for the Eagles.


The committee led by Rivers State FA chairman Chris Green will meet today and one of their deliberations would be to recommend temporary successors to Oliseh.

The experienced Amodu has severally handled the Eagles, qualifying Nigeria to the 2002 and 2014 World Cups, and he is currently the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) technical director.

Siasia posted a short stint as Eagles between 2010 and 2011. He was fired after he failed to qualify the country to the 2012 AFCON in Gabon and Equatorial Guinea.

Emmanuel Amuneke, who has been promoted to the U20 national team after he led the Golden Eaglets to a fifth FIFA u17 World Cup in November, 2015, is a dark horse for the country’s top post.

It is expected that Eagles assistant coach Salisu Yusuf will stay on o be a link between the new bosses and the team Oliseh was trying to build before he threw in the towel.

Yes. Siasia is a good choice. Infact let super eagles be without a coach rather than begging that inexperienced buffoon called Oliseh.
Many Nigerians are greatly disappointed in Oliseh, especially the youths. Here was a guy who was given the chance to show that youth and vigour can replace the old and antiquated leaders. Instead he messed it up with his inexperience, folly and loquaciousness.
Soldier come, Soldier Go but barrack go remain.

Siasia and Keshi are our best indeginous Coaches. Oliseh's resignation is the best thing that happened to Nigerian football. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

I prefer Amodu shuaibu

I prefer sia.

Sunday Oliseh

This super eagles and nff are cursed. And nothing good can come out of them anymore. Take my words to the bank.!!!

NFF pls, Jose Mourinho is also out of job.

Siasia will be the best he has learnt lesson from previous when was the coach like what the team did to him Angola 2010 that s.eagle was not qualify then but this time he will perform trust me.

Pinick shld be sacked for bringing in that black albino called oliseh

Same Old peeps....
We tried Local, but it is not working out well, maybe let us go back to Foreign. Maybe Mourinho or Van Gaal ....
Nigerian coaches nd NEPA i don't knw which 1 is more stable

Haram things.

No Coach can improve Nigeria football when Western affairs are increasingly being seen as Haram in Nigeria.

Anything Western, including football, is seen as Haram by larger sections of Nigeria since extreme religiously practices increased in northern Nigeria.

Give SiaOne the job

I think say na me

Make them put person wey go fly the eagles high.... FTC things

Of course, those two would be able to put up with whatever rubbish thrown at them by the NFF chairman who is a cross between Sanni Abacha and Godogodo
