There are indications that the Nigeria Football Federation could be keen on seeing former Super Eagles coach; Samson Siasia takes charge of the country’s Olympic team.

Siasia was replaced in October 2011 as the senior national team coach by Stephen Keshi after failing to steer Nigeria to the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations in Gabon and Equatorial Guinea.

There are reports that the NFF have been in contact with Siasia over the decision, though there has been no response from him.

Siasia led Nigeria to the final of the 2008 Olympics in Beijing; China, where Nigeria were defeated by Argentina by a lone goal scored by Angel Di Maria.
