Super Eagles' coach samson Siasia has been fired as chief coach of the national football teams.

Siasia was hired in November 2010 with the immediate mandate to qualify Nigeria to at least the semi-final of the Nations Cup to be staged in Gabon and Equatorial Guinea.

He failed to deliver as the Eagles were forced to a 2-2 draw by Guinea in Abuja, when Nigeria needed at least a win.

We gathered that the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has ordered a committee to meet next week to advice on a replacement.
