Siasia faces tough luck in Eagles’ job

There is little to suggest that the Nigeria Football Federation has moved away from its usual half-hearted efforts at arranging top grade friendly games for the Eagles.
This is one factor that would work against Eagles coach, Samson Siasia in his bid to build a solid team ahead of the soccer battles ahead.
Checks at the NFF during the week reveals that there are no plans to arrange matches for the Eagles in the FIFA free days in the 2011 calendar.A member of the NFF technical committee admitted in a phone interview that there was no game on the cards for the Eagles in the 2011 calendar.
“No we have no plans for any friendly game. I don’t know of any for the moment,” said the official.
Siasia who is in Europe to meet with some of the Nigerian top stars has plans to play a quality friendly game to test the might of the team he is putting together.
The Eagles coach is no stranger to the turmoil that is the NFF. During his days as the under-21 coach, he was practically running the team on his own and it appears that is about to play itself out again.
