The current troubles between Former Coach of Nigeria U23, Samson Siasia and the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) seems to have taken a new turn as NFF has threatened to expose the gaffer if he doesn’t keep shut.
Siasia, who recently led Nigeria to a bronze medal at the Rio 2016, resigned his appointment with the Nigerian team accusing the country’s football governing body of neglect and other vices.
Responding to Siasia, a top official of the NFF, has threatened to expose Samson Siasia, if he continues to castigate the football house.
The official, who preferred to remain anonymous, told OwnGoalNigeria.com: “We have endured Siasia’s excesses, he knows we have our own side of the story he is telling to the press.
“He shouldn’t forget that our recent spate of failure to qualify for the Africa Cup of Nations was started by him.
“He is an ingrate, we gave him the chance to relaunch himself with the U-23s but he showed us he is still the same person, we know how some players were selected both for the Super Eagles in the two games he handled and also for the U23s, he should just keep shut.
“We have facts to show he was involved in some dealings that led to our failures at tournaments; as a matter of fact, go and ask any board member, we received more petitions about Siasia than any other coach, he knows it.
“If he doesn’t keep shut, we will shame him and end his coaching career, a team that should have won gold, he selected players based on favoritism and he wants us to celebrate bronze with him; we are wiser than that.”
