Former Flying Eagles manager Samson Siasia has said he has a lot of respect for his former teammate Stephen Keshi as both coaches prepare to face the Nigeria Football Federation technical committee for the vacant Super Eagles job on Thursday.
Siasia, who denied criticising the composition of the committee, told our correspondenta on the telephone on Tuesday that he was confident of getting the post.
”There‘s no way I‘d have criticised anyone for a job they‘re yet to do,” the Heartland coach said.
“I respect Keshi a lot, right from our playing days and I believe whoever the committee decides to take eventually deserves the job.
”Nigerian football needs transformation and dynamism and that‘s what I intend to bring when I take over the team.”
The committee was inaugurated on Tuesday and has since commenced profiling the two coaches ahead of the interview Chris Green, Adegboye Onigbinde, Christian Chukwu and Austin Okocha are some of the members.
Meanwhile, Siasia has said he is concentrating on Heartland‘s opening game against Gombe United on Sunday, adding that he had strengthened the team with new players.
”I‘m prepared to manage the Eagles but I‘m not losing focus on what I want to achieve with Heartland,” he said.
”We‘ve signed young players that are capable of winning the league.”
