Former coach of the Super Eagles, Clemens Westerhof has drummed support for Samson Siasia, who played under him to handle the team, reports www.totorinews.com
According to Sports Village Square, Westerhof, who won the 1994 AFCON and led to her maiden world cup appearance in USA same year, made this remark after Bruno Labbadia could not agree terms with the NFF and he declined the offer to coach the team once rated 5th best in the world under Westerhof.
“I called him last month to greet him for his birthday and also to celebrate with him for the end of his five-year ban”, Westerhof told Sports Village Square at his house in Arnhem in the Netherlands.
“Siasia has the same quality like Stephen Keshi to handle the Super Eagles. “He has done it before and I think he can still do it,” he added.
Meanwhile, Austin Eguavoen, who was very pivotal in Westerhof’s Eagles has done well as the interim coach of the team, where he tinkered Nigeria to 3-0 win over the Cheetahs of Benin Republic last weekend and goalless draw with Wasps of Rwanda on Tuesday.
