Can Nigeria's Super Eagles rise again after coach Siasia is fired?

Sampson Siasia fired

Samson Siasia has been fired as Nigeria coach for failing to take the country to the 2012 Africa Cup of Nation, so what next? 

Siasia's sack was announced in Abuja on Friday at the end of the NFA Board meeting. 

Siasia 44, lost support after the Super Eagles failed to qualify for Africa's flagship tournament - the Nations Cup finals for the first time since 1986. The team drew 2-2 with Guinea in Abuja earlier this month in a match Nigeria losing a chance to qualify for the Cup of Nations in Gabon and Equatorial Guinea.

Stephen Keshi - Next coach?

Local supporters have expressed concerned about  the structure within the NFA which many say is hampering growth. 

There is speculation that former Nigeria skipper Stephen Keshi will take over the team in an interim capacity for six months. If Keshi does become Nigeria's new football coach Nigerians have to wait and see if he can improve the club to its former glory.
