Nigeria's national U23 coach, Samson Siasia has been issued a query for lamenting his non-salary payment by the Nigeria Football Federation for over three months.
The Dream Team VI are due for the U23 African championship next month in Senegal, and Siasia said told Nigerians that the NFF should be held responsible if the fail to make it to next year's Olympics in Rio.
Siasia went public to accuse his employers of abandoning his team with a month to Rio Olympics qualifying tournament in Senegal.
He said the team are owed match bonuses, allowances and he himself has not been paid for three months.
It has now been specially gathered that the NFF were “highly embarrassed” by the statements of the coach particularly after he was briefed by a top-ranking executive committee member about the financial predicament of the federation after the single treasury account adopted by the federal government came into force.
The query has demanded why sanctions should not be imposed on him for his “media outburst”.
The African U23 Nations Cup will be staged in Senegal from November 28 and it will serve as a qualifier for next year’s Olympics in Rio.
Siasia’s Dream Team VI are scheduled to train in Morocco and Gambia prior to the championship, where they are drawn against Egypt, Algeria and Mali. AfricanFootball
