Eagles’ coach Samson Siasia has no reservations about Nigeria playing Argentina for the second time this year.
Siasia who is been expected back in Nigeria next week to prepare his charges for the Nigeria/Ghana friendly in London is only waiting for the Nigeria Football Federation to make a final decision on whether to play the game against the ‘Argies’ on September 6 in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
The Eagles coach was reported to have expressed his unwillingness to play Argentina two days after the all important Nations Cup qualifiers September 3 against Madagascar in Antananarivo.
“Siasia is not against playing that match. For him it is purely for the NFF to decide and it is left for him to prepare the boys,” said an associate of the coach during a phone conversation.
Meanwhile the NFF is yet to come up with its position even as it could cough out a fine up to the tune of a million dollars if they decide to skip the match.
The NFF secretary-general, Musa Amadu who signed the 4 million- dollar contract with the Bangladesh Federation and the technical committee chairman Chris Green, took different positions.
While Amadu insisted that Nigeria must respect the contract his learned colleague state that the game was still subject to debate.
