NFF President Amaju Pinnick believes Coach Samson Siasia can come up with the formula to steer the Nigeria U-23 past Germany in the Men’s Olympic Football Tournament semi-final in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
“As a federation, we always have confidence in Samson Siasia. We believed in him enough to appoint him to head the U-23 coaching crew and gave him all the support, including organising several friendlies and invitational tournaments for the team over the past 18 months.
“When there was a sudden vacancy in the Super Eagles and we had two crucial matches at hand, we called on Samson Siasia. Personally and, as NFF President, I have confidence that Siasia can take the team to the final match on Saturday,” Pinnick said upon arriving in Sao Paulo.
Siasia would be aiming to equal his record of playing in the Olympics final and coaching to one, when his troops file out against Germany at the Arena Corinthians, Sao Paulo, Brazil.
