Castaway Nigerian and Blackburn Rovers' striker, Yakubu Aiyegbeni revealed in an interview on Brila FM  that Nigeria head coach, Samson Siasia should relieved of his post.

The former Everton man also believes that the blame for the Super Eagles failure to qualify for the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations, lies with Siasia and as such, he should accept responsibility for the country’s failure to claim a spot at the Afcon. The players also believes that Stephen Keshi can turn out to be a perfect replacement for Siasia.

According to him, 'He (Siasia) failed to take the team to the Nations Cup. Unlike coach Christian Chukwu who took the team to the Nations Cup and still got sacked or another that took the team to the World Cup. So he (Siasia) should go and they (the Nigeria Football Federation) should bring in a technical adviser, may be a person like Stephen Keshi.'

'The manager didn’t do well so they should look for another person to take the opportunity.'

He added that the players will feel worse when the Africa Cup of Nations gets underway in January.

'It’s sad that we will not be there (at the Afcon),” he lamented. “For the players they don’t know what has happened to them right now. By January they will know what they will be missing.'

The NFF Technical Committee will meet in Abuja Today to decide on Siasia's future amidst the clamour from Nigerian fans for his sack.
