adminSiasia (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 on Thursday.
The Super Eagles’ coach also accepted “full responsibility” for his team’s failed attempt to reach the Africa Cup of Nations.
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.
“I want to tell Nigerians that I’m sorry.
“I take full responsibility for what happened.
“These are hard times for us all. 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 on that regards. – SuperSport.
