Oliseh, Siasia promise to work together

Sunday Oliseh and Samson Siasia have promised to work together for the good of the game.

The Super Eagles coach and his U-23 counterpart met at the office of the general secretary of the Nigeria Football Federation, Mohammed Sanusi on Friday.

“Whatever we might feel, the truth is that we are both condemned to work together,” Oliseh said.

“We have no choice than to pool resources together and see how we can both help ourselves succeed in our different but complementary tasks.”

“I have coached the Super Eagles before and I know the nature of the job. It is no picnic. But we will always be in contact so that we can help each other at all times,” Siasia said.

While Siasia’s U-23 team is heading to the All-Africa Games in September, and also looks forward to participation at the African Olympics qualifying tournament (Africa U-23 Cup of Nations) in Senegal in December, Oliseh will be aiming for three points against Tanzania in the race for a place at the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations, and also has 2016 African Nations Championship and 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifying races to deal with later in the year.
