Nigeria U23coach Samson Siasia has been issued a final warning by the
Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) after his critical comments against his
employers.
He
has also been fined 500,000 Naira and ordered to apologise in the media
after he revealed he was owed three months’ pay and his team have been
abandoned and so not ready for the Africa U23 Nations Cup in Senegal later
this month.
An official said: “Siasia has been very sober since his bosses came down
hard on him.”
Siasia was queried for his media comments and the NFF had already placed
Eagles assistant coach Salisu Yusuf on standby to lead Dream Team VI to
Senegal.

next year’s Rio Olympics, kicks off November 28 in Dakar and Nigeria are
