Siasia resign

Nigeria U23 coach Samson Siasia has announced his resignation after recently steering his side to an Olympic bronze medal in Brazil.
Siasia said he reached that point where he had enough of a lack of organisation and professionalism from the country’s football federation.
“I have reached that point where I have to say I have had enough,” Siasia told BBC Sport . “I’ve gone several months without getting paid, years of being derided and disrespected by the sports authorities in Nigeria but I am done already.
“It’s sad that after all we went through to get to Brazil and end up winning a bronze medal, the players, coaching and backroom staff never received a ‘thank you’ in appreciation despite a turbulent time at the Olympics.”
Siasia highlighted a number of unsavoury incidents which occurred in the build up to Olympics as well as during the tournament.
“First we had the minister deride us for camping in Atlanta and even denied our existence as a group before the flight problems,” recalled Siasia.
“Players had to embark on a strike to be heard, then the boys kept a good spirit to win an incredible medal, only to be publicly criticised for speaking to the Japanese surgeon who supported and rewarded the team for their brave spirit.
“I’ve taken a deep look at everything and concluded that things need to change for us to progress as a country not just in football but our general lives.
“I have fulfilled my obligations as a citizen, footballer and coach; right now I do not want to be involved in the Nigerian football system anymore.”
