SIASIA GETS THE BOOT

Samson Siasia has been sacked as the coach of the Super Eagles. The sack by the NFF came as a result of Samson Siasia's inability to make Nigeria qualify for the 2012 African cup of nations which will hold in Gabon and Equitorial Guinea next year.
The decision by the NFF chairman to sack the Super Eagles coach did not go down well with some board members of the Nigerian football association who argued that Siasia had performed better as a coach than his predecessors.
The NFF chairman stood his ground insisting  his decision is final.

YOBO, NSOFOR LIFTS NIGERIA

Nigerian super eagles beat host Madagascar with a 2 – 0 score line at the 2012 African nations cup qualifiers. The match played at the Antananarivo stadium had goals emerge in the second half from Joseph Yobo’s good use of Mikel Obi’s corner kick and

Obinna Nsofor’s 75^th minute shot.

The super eagles now have 10 points and are second in group B, behind Guinea. They still need to win Guinea at a home based match to be played in October if they are to qualify for the African cup of nations in 2012.

Meanwhile the Super Eagle’s captain Joseph Yobo is trying to beat deadline for transfer to Turkish champions Fenerbahce. Yobo was dropped by Everton’s coach Tofee and is not included among Everton’s 23 man squad this season.
