Samson Siasia quits Nigerian football after winning Olympic bronze medal says ‘It’s Not Worth It’

Nigeria: Nigerian dream team IV coach at the just concluded Rio 2016 Olympics in Brazil, Samson Siasia has resigned from his position after wining a Bronze medal at the Olympic saying he is “done” working for Nigeria.

Lamenting the unfortunate attitude of the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) and the ministry of sports during the Rio games, Siasia said no staff of the ministry has contacted the team that since they arrived Rio.
Speaking to Vanguard, Siasia said;

“My next step is that I am done with Nigeria for now,”

“You can’t keep going to a place where they don’t appreciate you. It does not worth it. Sometimes it is not about the money but the approach.

“They seem not to appreciate the sacrifices. I know how much I have sacrificed since the team began camping two years ago. How can you keep going to people who don’t appreciate you?

“It does not make sense, so I am done for now. I have to go somewhere else where they will appreciate what I have done and what I can do and pay me the respect that I deserve.”

The very furious Siasia also said that the NFF had recalled the car that was given to him.

“Even before I returned from the Olympics, the only car they gave me, they took it away from my wife. That is just awesome.

“That is not how to treat someone who was out there seeking glory for the nation. Let them eat their national team.”
