You are only quick to pick on just the league form, okay tell me, when he got appointed in July, how many league matches did he win?

When he took over, how many champions league matches did he win?

babytoun:

you are our moderator here. na you suppose be our teacher. You tell me the answer to the questions you asked. When was siasia appointed, and how many league matches did he play?

I am actually going somewhere but just answer my question first.

seunlayi:

siasia here, siasia there, siasia allover. Hmm m m, omo nigeria.
Hossanah today, crucify him tomorrow.
Remember what you did to Bertis Voght and Largerbach before and after thier appointment
Siasia should ask God to lead him. He should not be carried away by the noise. He is not d best, where is amodu that qualifers us despite of been arrogant for 2 world cup finals. No doubt, keshi is better than him for now, but if siasia is given d job, he should learn how to manage big p

dejyx:

I love Siasa so much. But now keshi has come in we have to be sincere. Keshi qualified Togo with average players. Imagine what he will do with Nigeria who has Excellent players.

na_so:

Are Malian players---- sisoko,diara,kanoute et al average too? Tell us what he did in mali? What did the "average" togolese players do at ANC 2006 in egypt? They did not get a single point from 3 matches. MALI finished behind ordinary Benin republic in the WC 2010 qualifying round and the corronated their poor showing under keshi by failing to make it out of the group stage in Angola.


Siasia has once been ranked the 15th best coach in the world by Fifa. Does FIFA even know Keshi's name?

medjai:

yes Mali is an average team with average players. Infact, they are below average. Kanoute's form has since dipped. Sissoko is no more than a bit part player at Juve and only God knows when Diarra last played for Real Madrid. Mali would have qualified for the quarter-finals if not for the head to head rule. They had a superior goal difference to that of Algeria and were only knocked out cruelly by the head to head rule. Even when Mali had an experienced foreign coach in Henri Kasperczak, they couldn't do better than a quarter final finish. Keshi has proven his mettle at the highest level unlike Siasia. Siasia was sacked at JUTH, Ocean Boys and most recently could not deliver at Heartland. Siasia has only achieved at age grade competitions where we even paraded over aged players. Not saying he is a bad coach though

noru:

Two of them are not good. they don't have anything to offer. Austine " Cerezo" Eguaveon should continue as SE coach. Afterall the best coaches we have today failed several times before.

honeric01:

Thank you jare, it's not like Siasia is a bad coach but when it comes to choosing between the 2 shortlisted, i will go for Keshi anytime anyday, he has managed more strongheaded players than siasia.

[size=13pt]I’ve lots of respect for Keshi – Siasia[/size]

Former Flying Eagles manager Samson Siasia has said he has a lot of respect for his former teammate Stephen Keshi as both coaches prepare to face the Nigeria Football Federation technical committee for the vacant Super Eagles job on Thursday.


Siasia, who denied criticising the composition of the committee, told our correspondenta on the telephone on Tuesday that he was confident of getting the post.


”There‘s no way I‘d have criticised anyone for a job they‘re yet to do,” the Heartland coach said.


“I respect Keshi a lot, right from our playing days and I believe whoever the committee decides to take eventually deserves the job.


”Nigerian football needs transformation and dynamism and that‘s what I intend to bring when I take over the team.”


The committee was inaugurated on Tuesday and has since commenced profiling the two coaches ahead of the interview Chris Green, Adegboye Onigbinde, Christian Chukwu and Austin Okocha are some of the members.


Meanwhile, Siasia has said he is concentrating on Heartland‘s opening game against Gombe United on Sunday, adding that he had strengthened the team with new players.


”I‘m prepared to manage the Eagles but I‘m not losing focus on what I want to achieve with Heartland,” he said.


”We‘ve signed young players that are capable of winning the league.”

[size=13pt]Keshi ready to parley with Siasia
. . . To assist him [/size]

Super Eagles’ former captain, Stephen Keshi, arrived Abuja yesterday for an interview date for the Super Eagles manager's job, assuring that he would bring his winning aura back to the national team.

The big Boss as he is popularly called had arrived the country Monday morning
and went straight to his Benin home from where he flew to Abuja yesterday for the interview slated for November 4 at the NFA Glass House secretariat.

He told Daily Sunsports on phone that he was ready for the interview and restated his willingness to work with Siasia if he gets the job to coach the Eagles, adding that he would talk with Siasia and see how they could work out something between them.

“We are friends and have come a long way and coaching the Super Eagles cannot tear us apart. I just pray, he would agree to work with me for the benefit of the country. I have assisted many coaches and I don't see any reason why he cannot assist me. If he gets the job, I will not grudge him rather, I would wish him well,” he said.
