Against the back-drop of intense media speculation that
national U-23 team coach, Samson Siasia would be sacked
soon, a member of the Technical Committee of the Nigeria
Football Federation, Ahmed Yusuf Fresh has informed that
the football house has no intention of sacking the Olympic
silver medal-winning coach.
Speaking
exclusively to
Sports Vanguard
yesterday, Yusuf
insisted that
media reports
that suggested
the impending
sack of Siasia
after a rash of
media interviews
on the state of
affairs in the U-23
team’s camp
were a clear misrepresentation of facts.
“There has never been a time we in the technical committee
or at the executive committee level discussed any such thing.
I am a member of both committees and never has that come
up for discussion.”
Fresh admitted however, that the Olympic team coach was
queried after what was taken as an affront against his
employers. “But that was not enough for the media to
suggest that it would lead to Siasia’s sack.
“Siasia was queried and he has since answered to the query.
It is a normal administrative procedure which should not call
for speculations that are unfounded. There is no intention to
sack Siasia,”he repeated.
