Samson Siasia, who recently led the Dream Team to claim bronze at the Rio Olympics has demanded that the Nigerian Football Federation, NFF, pay him his outstanding salary.
While corroborating the NFF's statement that his contract had ended with the conclusion of the Olympics, Siasia said, "This is not really resignation; my contract was arranged to end with the Olympics. And so the contract has ended.
"What is very important is that I get every kobo that I am owed. I need the money now than ever and I believe I have really endured and I have been cooperative."
However, the coach did not completely deny the resignation story that made the headlines by the weekend.
"I spoke with a reporter but I guess the one who are referring to was extracted from the interview I granted somebody else. What I was asked was my entire story at the Olympics and this included Atlanta camping.
"Of course a lot of things happened that I can't be really happy about especially the way the team was portrayed. But that is over as my contract has also actually ended. What is left now is my cash and that is very, very important," he said.
The NFF has appointed a new foreign Coach for the Super Eagles; and Siasia and his friends are hoping that the FA would sort out his bills quickly.
