'' Siasia Should Go'' -Aiyegbemi Yakubu.

Blackburn Rovers' striker, Yakubu
Aiyegbeni has passed a damning
verdict saying that Nigeria head
coach, Samson Siasia should leave
his post.
Aiyegbeni's reaction in an interview
on Brila FM on Thursday morning
comes after Nigeria's Super Eagles
failed to qualify for the 2012 Africa
Cup of Nations in Equatorial Guinea
and Gabon.
The former Everton man also
believes that the blame lies at the
doorstep of Siasia and he should
accept responsibility for the
country's failure to claim a spot at
the Afcon.
Aiyegbeni, 28, also holds the view
that Stephen Keshi can turn out to
be a perfect replacement for Siasia.
He said: "He (Siasia) failed to take
the team to the Nations Cup. Unlike
coach Christian Chukwu who took
the team to the Nations Cup and
still got sacked or another that
took the team to the World Cup. So
he (Siasia) should go and they (the
Nigeria Football Federation) should
bring in a technical adviser, may be
a person like Stephen Keshi.
"The manager didn't do well so
they should look for another
person to take the opportunity."
The striker, who has been
blacklisted from the Super Eagles
since his infamous miss against
South Korea at the 2010 Fifa World
Cup in South Africa, said missing the
Afcon is disappointing for Nigeria.
He added that the players will feel
the pain more when the Africa Cup
of Nations gets underway in
January.
"It's sad that we will not be there
(at the Afcon)," he lamented. "For
the players they don't know what
has happened to them right now.
By January they will know what
they will be missing."
However, Aiyegbeni refused to lay
into the players saying that it is the
prerogative of the coach to know
when a player is having a bad day
in the office.
He pointed to his miss against
South Korea at the World Cup as an
example.
"A striker misses and scores goals,
which are part of the game. When I
missed a goal at the World Cup I
was criticised. Even (Fernando)
Torres too missed his own too. But
it is still the coach that will go if
any of this happens," he said.
The NFF Technical Committee will
meet in Abuja on Thursday to
decide on the future of Siasia
amidst clamour from Nigerian fans
for his sack.
