Samson Siasia, Super Eagles interim coach has voiced
his disappointment at losing to Egypt in the AFCON qualifier but says he is
proud of the effort put in by his players over the two legged fixture.
Nigeria's loss to Egypt means the Super Eagles won't participate at the 2017
AFCON tournament in Gabon, the second time in two straight tournaments.
Siasia, who took over from Sunday Oliseh after his shock resignation, says he inherited a 'broken' team.

“We are very disappointed. We couldn’t do it,” said a very sober Siasia
to reporters on arrival in Abuja from Alexandria, Egypt this morning. “We
inherited a broken team, but we worked so hard, but it was not to be. I’m proud
of the boys. We were not lucky right from the first game in Kaduna. And God
knows why. We thank Nigerians for their support.”
