Former Nigeria U23 coach, Johannes Bonfrere, has said that Samson Siasia has a chance to lead the Dream Team VI to win the 2016 Olympics men’s football event.
Siasia guided the Nigeria U23 team to win the 2015 Caf U23 Africa Cup of Nations in Senegal which gave them an automatic spot to represent Africa at next year’s multisport event in Rio.
According to the Dutch who led the country to win the 1996 Olympics football gold medal in the United States of America, Siasia has what it takes to lead the team to the 2016 Olympics men’s football gold in Brazil if they have good preparation.
"To be honest, I don't know much about the team, but I believe Samson can help them win the gold medal in Rio," Bonfrere told Completesportsnigeria.com.
"He has done well with the youth sides in the past and his experience will be vital for Nigeria in Brazil.
"But there are a lot of things that will still come into play, like getting a good draw and preparing well for the competition.
