Congratulations to Samson Siasia on his appointment as the new coach of the Nigerian Super Eagles! His appointment culminates a long, sometimes arduous process of reconstitution of the team following a dismal outing at the world cup in South Africa.
Siasia inherits a team that has been static for over a decade now, with both managerial and personnel changes that have made no significant impact either in results obtained or the overall performance of the team, leaving passionate Nigerian fans repeatedly disillusioned. The challenge before Siasia is thus not just to improve the results of the team but the overall quality of its game, in a manner to bring back the joy that is a hallmark of football followership in Nigeria.
How can he achieve this arduous task?
In the next series of in-depth articles, I will attempt to share a few thoughts on what the options are for the new manager as well as highlight possible approaches for consideration.
