| SAMSON SIASIA |
Siasia, 43, last week fended off a stiff opposition from his Tunisia ’94 Nations Cup co-winner Stephen Keshi to land the job. He will assume his new duties on December 1.
According to the reports on Tuesday, the former Flying Eagles coach will also sign a Code of Conduct.
”He will sign a contract tomorrow (Wednesday) and also sign the Code of Conduct,” SuperSport quoted the NFF Technical Committee Chairman Chris Green as saying.
Siasia may not have much to do till March 2011 when Nigeria host Ethiopia in a 2012 Nations Cup qualifier.
On November 17 the Eagles will face Iran in a friendly affair in Tehran, but Siasia‘s Nigeria teammate Augustine Eguavoen, who has been in charge of the team since Swede Lars Lagerback ‘s contract with NFF expired after the World Cup, will be in the dugout.
Siasia was coach of the Nigerian Olympic team, which won the silver medal at the 2008 Beijing Games and the U-20 side that finished runners-up to Argentina at the 2005 World Cup in Holland. He will earn N5m a year as Eagles coach.
