Chief Adegboye Onigbinde, Former CAF and FIFA
instructor and one time coach of the Super Eagles has hailed the selection of
u-23 coach Samson Siasia as the new Super Eagles acting coach, saying he is well
suited to the job than Sunday Oliseh, who was temperamental and didn't have any
experience for the role.
“When Oliseh was being appointed, I did not raise objection to it but I
was particular about his background,” Onigbinde told completesportsnigeria.com.
"And with the new people that have come on board, I believe they have
better coaching pedigree than Oliseh.
And that was my objection when Oliseh was appointed, question of experience and behaviour, those were the two issues I raised. And during his tenure, he exhibited lack of all those things clearly. Siasia has been there once and I hope he would have learnt his lessons. I remember when he first came, in a meeting with the technical committee, I cautioned him on a certain step he was taking. I have no reason to hate any football coach in this country or anywhere, but we are talking about the fate of our country. And just about two weeks ago, as if I knew, I sent a message of commendation to Amuneke.” He added: "What is important is they getting there and doing what they are supposed to do. Where they feel that they have problems, if they see some people around them who could put them through, they should not hesitate because nobody is an island.”
