As the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) gears up to appoint a new head coach for the Super Eagles , former player and manager Samson Siasia is making a strong case for local coaches.
The NFF is looking to replace Jose Peseiro, whose contract expired after leading the team to a heartbreaking loss in the AFCON 2023 finals against Cote dIvoire. Reports suggest the federation is undecided between hiring another foreign manager or settling for a deserving Nigerian coach.
Siasia, who took the helm in 2016 after Sunday Olisehs abrupt departure, spoke out about the NFFs apparent bias against indigenous coaches in a podcast with ex-international Emmanuel Babayaro and journalist Matthew Edafe.
