Super Eagles Can’t Win 2023 AFCON – Siasia Gives Shocking Reason

Former Super Eagles coach Samson Siasia believes the team needs to step up their game for a shot at winning the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.

The recent performances against Lesotho and Zimbabwe were unconvincing, raising doubts about the team’s ability under Jose Peseiro to secure a fourth title in Cote d’Ivoire.

Samson Siasia, part of the winning 1994 AFCON team, stressed that both players and the coaching staff must improve significantly for the team to make a meaningful impact at the upcoming tournament.

In his words;

“Like the majority of Nigerians, I am worried about the Eagles’ lackluster performances so far. Struggling against countries like Lesotho and Zimbabwe is not a good sign of a team ready to win the Africa Cup of Nations as well as qualify for the 2026 World Cup”.

“Let us not deceive ourselves, we cannot be the best in Africa with this disorganised team. Our players must be made to understand what it means to wear the green and white jersey of the nation while the coach also needs to improve on the tactical approach.”
