Samson Siasia appointment deffered
Samson Siasia's imminent appointment as Head Coach of Nigeria has been deferred until after the NFF elections later this month
Former international Siasia is the frontrunner for the position after Swede Lars Lagerback declined an extension, but discussions between the NFF and Siasia have not gone beyond an expression of interest stage.
Dominic Iorfa, who heads the technical committee of the NFF Board, told kickoffnigeria.com that the executive committee had resolved to leave the issue of appointing another coach to the incoming exco.
"of course we would like to discuss with Siasia, but there are elections coming up in about two weeks, and we thought it is better to leave it to the people who will come in to discuss with him.
The new board will be the ones to work with him or any other coach and it is important that there is enough time for them to discuss a proper contract."
Iorfa himself is running for re-election but he says it does matter that he might return.
"Others may come in and everyone has to be involved."
The timing however, will be cause for concern as the Super Eagles have a 2012 African Nations Cup qualifier against Madagascar on September 5, barely two weeks after the elections on August 21.
Iorfa is confident that will not be an issue.
"Austin Eguavoen can handle the team until a coach is appointed. And if it is Siasia, he knows most of the players already."

i think this people don't want to give siasia the job. if na that "white amodu" 'lagerback' they would not wait for 2weeks

it's all delay tactics. I think Sani Lulu is still running things in the NFF because he swore that it will be "over his dead body" that Sia1 is appointed Super Eagles coach

There is a standing order from GEJ that Siasia should be appointed as Coach. Let them dilly-dally all they like. . .dem nor get choice but to appoint SiaOne.

?

I don't think it was Lulu that said that, that statement sounds like what Onigbinde said.
