Avoid Siasia's pitfalls 'Cooreman warns Keshi

KADUNA United Coach, Maurice Cooreman has warned the new Super Eagles Coach, Stephen Keshi to avoid mistake his predecessor made.Cooreman said Samson Siasia made several mistakes that denied the country a ticket to next year's Africa Cup of Nation.Siasia had well documented spats with several members of the Super Eagles team with Fulham's Dickson Etuhu turning down an invitation to play against Ghana in a botched friendly in London before declaring that he would never play for the team whilst the coach remained at the helm.Cooreman has now moved to issue 'words of wisdom' to the new Man, Keshi insisting that handling players in the 'right manner' is an important ingredient for success.'He should not make the same mistakes that (Siasia) made. Don't fight with the players and see that everybody is in a good mood,' Cooreman told SuperSport.com.Keshi had a tumultuous relationship with Tottenham's Nigerian born striker, Emmanuel Seyi Adebayor when he was in charge of Togo and Cooreman says Keshi must be diplomatic in handling the players if he is to succeed as Nigeria coach.'You must be diplomatic and certain issues should never be made public (as was the case with Siasia). 'If you don't handle things properly, you can't achieve anything,' Cooreman concluded.
