commended the Nigeria Football Federation for hiring ex-internationals
to coach the Super Eagles.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the
NFF was in talks with former Super Eagles' captain, Sunday Oliseh, to
coach the senior national team.
Siasia told sports journalists on Saturday in
Port Harcourt that it was a good development for the growth of the
game in the country and for ex-internationals with interest and
experience in coaching.
According to Siasia, Oliseh is good, I just wish him the best of luck
and hopefully he would succeed.
"He should know how this terrain is, we have been there for awhile, he
has been in Europe, I pray for him to cope, and you know it is not
easy," he said.
Siasia said the U-23 team was well prepared
to take on Congo on July 19 at the Adokiye
Amiesimaka Stadium in Port Harcourt.
He called on Port Harcourt fans to "come out in their numbers to
support the team."
