Nigeria has hired Samson Siasia as its national football team coach.
Chris Green, a lawyer for the Nigerian football federation's executive committee, said Thursday that Siasia was selected to take over the Super Eagles. Siasia has previously served as coach for Nigeria's under-20 team.
Green says a contract for Siasia will be completed in the coming days.
Nigeria's national team has been rocked by corruption allegations and a poor World Cup performance this year. Nigeria fired coach Shaibu Amodu in February and later hired Swedish coach Lars Lagerback to take charge only about four months before the World Cup.
