FOOTBALL:
NFF SHORTLIST SIASIA, KESHI!
The Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, have shortlisted the duo of Stephen Keshi and Samson Siasia for the Super Eagles coaching job.
The NFF on Wednesday rose from its first executive board meeting and declared that the former Super Eagles stars will be considered for the job since they are the only coaches to have shown interest in taking over the reins of the Nigeria national team by submitting their CVs to the Glass House.
Keshi is Nigeria’s longest serving captain in history and the coach who qualified tiny Togo for its first ever World Cup appearance in Germany 2006, while Siasia’s reputation soared when he led the Nigerian U-20 and U-23 teams to win silver at the FIFA U-20 and U-23 World Cup and Beijing Olympics in 2005 and 2008 respectively.
A Technical Committee made up of former Super Eagles stars like Austin Okocha, Victor Nosa Ikpeba, and Garba Lawal amongst others will interview Keshi and Siasia on November 4, two days after its inauguration. The unveiling of the eventual Eagles gaffer is expected to be held on November 8.
The communique of the NFF board meeting was read by member, Deji Tinubu who is also a member of the Technical Committee that will interview the Tunisia and USA ‘94 Nations Cup and World Cup stars.
