I won't quit Eagles job now - Siasia

TROUBLED Nigeria's manager, Samson Siasia has doused report saying he is under pressure to resign from his position, pleading that he needs time to build the Super Eagles to a solid side.Siasia, 44, was named head coach of the Super Eagles in November 2010 but has come under fire since October 8 for failing to guide his country to the 2012 Afcon.'No I'm not under pressure to resign,' said Siasia while answering questions on a Lagos-based radio programme yesterday.He also believes that the 2-2 draw against Guinea represents a loss but wants Nigerian football fans to allow him continue handling the country's national team using the Clemens Westerhof era as an example.' The 2-2 draw is like I have lost 10 times already. I need time to build this team. Westerhof had five years to build and he came out with a great team. I beg Nigerians to forgive me,' Siasia said.The future of Siasia as the Nigerian head coach has come under review with the Executive Committee of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) waiting to make a decision in that regards.Meanwhile, NFF technical committee member, Christian Chukwu has assured that the executive board will not go against its recommendations on under fire Super Eagles coach, Samson Siasia.The committee met last week in Abuja on Siasia as Eagles' handler and made far reaching recommendation to the NFF executive board who is yet to make a final pronouncement.'We have taken a decision on Siasia and passed on our recommendation to the executive who will later make the decision public.'I don't think there is any reason to doubt they will do something else than what we gave to them. I am not aware where or when we made recommendation and they go against it, I don't see it happening this time. No, it will be improper to reveal to you our decision, let's wait for the board final take,' said Chukwu.On the line of action for the committee should there be alteration, Chukwu could only ask for patience.'Let's get to the bridge before we cross it. We are not in contest with the board, they will do what is right,' he said.
