Nigeria coach fears Ghana defeat cost him his job

Samson Siasia
Nigeria coach Samson Siasia has admitted that he will be sacked if loses to Ghana in a friendly in London on Tuesday.
The Super Eagles failed to qualify for the Africa Cup of Nations after being held to a 2-2 draw by Guinea in Abuja on Saturday.
The failure to qualify for the continent’s flagship tournament has sparked anger in Nigeria with many calling for the dismissal of the former international.
Siasia says beating the Black Stars in the friendly game could help appease fans of one of the powerhouses of African football.
“A win (against Ghana) will calm down what is going on. It will actually save my job,” Siasia said.
“If we lose this one I am taking the blame for myself.
Siasia says winning against Ghana will be a good point for the Super Eagles to start rebuilding for the future.
“If we want to move forward from where we are we must get a good result against Ghana,” the former international striker said.
“Nigerians will know that we are building and we did our best against Guinea. We created a lot of chances but we just couldn’t score.
“We have a team that we are building and it is going to get better.”
Nigeria failed to qualify for the Africa’s flagship tournament first time since 1986.
The Super Eagles will be absent from the competition for the first time since 1998 in Burkina Faso.
Nigeria were banned from those finals for quitting the 1996 edition for political reasons.

do what u hav to do and move ahead.9ja by blooooooood
Isn’t it sad to hear that your coach is begging Ghana not to beat you (Nigeria), so that he may keep his job?
Then get ready to be sacked.
Up Gh!
IM SORRY FOR U BUT U ARE NOW FROM FRIYING PAN TO FIRE.
Big boy, sorry, it’s hard for you, but I fear you might not be able to beat Ghana.
Siasia,its payback time for you.i remember the day you came to ohene djan stadium to snatch a draw with your u-23 team.u danced and danced infront of us and up till today its being used as a commercial on ghanatv.Today you ll go the same way as Eguavon(4-1).im sorry but today we’ll also dance infront of you.
My fear is that Ghana is not taking this game serious; the coach is even talking about starting a host of non-regulars. We better be careful ‘cos these Naijas will still laugh in our faces should they win, no matter if we face them with our U-17 lineup.
DID SIASIA REALLY SAY HE WOULD LOSE HIS JOB IF GHANA BEATS NIGERIA? THIS IS LIKE CONNING GHANA TO TAKE THE GAME EASY! I have even lost interest.
I know that the GFA and it’s entire body will allow the Super Vultures to beat Ghana and that is the reason why they have brought this news out.I knew it from the start that this was going to happen but I swear to God that if the Black Stars allow Nigeria to beat them,it’s also going to be their down fall and you guys should mark my words.We don’t care whether they did qualify or not.All we need is a win against them so that the history against them will continue.We don’t need to lose against Nigeria and we the fans even don’t want a draw.All we need is win.GFA,a strong warning to you.No bribes and in this please.Am serious about my comment.If Siasia was a good coach,he would have qualified and it’s not the Black stars who will save him and his job.We are not looking for that.Good luck Black stars.God Bless Ghana,God Bless Black Stars.
Hehehehe this man is trying to play a mind game here. So I’m appealing to the Ghanaian players not to consider his plea at all cos we’ve suffered allot from these Nigerians.
