\nLeadership<\/a> (Abuja)\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

31 March 2011<\/p>\n

\n

Former Super Eagles skipper, Kanu Nwankwo, has spoken for the first time since being made Nigeria’s football ambassador by the Nigeria Football Federation. He said new Eagles coach Samson Siasia has started well and is on track.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Siasia won his first three matches in charge of the Super Eagles. He got off to a winning start last month by beating Sierra Leone 2-1 in a friendly, before his team thrashed Ethiopia 4-0 in a crucial Nations Cup qualifier on Sunday. And on Tuesday night, Siasia led Eagles to soar above Kenya 3-0 in a friendly. “He’s on the right footing. The team is scoring goals, not conceding and creating chances,” remarked Kanu, who watched the Eagles, Harambee Stars of Kenya encounter in Abuja.<\/p>\n

Kanu quits football after over 17 years with the Eagles and will in the summer formally mark this by a testimonial which is aimed at raising part of the $35 million he needs to build a heart specialist hospital in Abuja.<\/p>\n

Chelsea star Mikel Obi, also hailed Siasia’s philosophy of attacking football. “Siasia wants to attack and we are working very hard to fulfil his philosophy. I want to play for Siasia and work for the overall success of the team.”<\/p>\n
