Mighty Jets Int’l FC backs coach Samson Siasia as FIFA ban ends

As coach Samson Siasia emerges from a five-year ban by FIFA, Mighty Jets International Football Club stands firm by his side, expressing unwavering support for a man who has been a pillar of Nigerian football.

Despite the difficult circumstances that led to his ban in 2019 (stemming from match-fixing allegations linked to a phone conversation with a notorious Singaporean sports match-fixer), Coach Siasia’s indomitable spirit remains intact.

Mighty Jets Int’l FC acknowledges the arduous path Coach Siasia has taken and praises his resilience.

“A phoenix rises from the ashes, stronger and more resilient than ever,” the club said, praising Siasia’s unwavering dedication to football during this ordeal. They stress that his passion for the game has not waned and that his return marks the beginning of a promising new chapter.

The club highlighted the disparity in how coach Siasia’s case was handled compared to another Nigerian coach who, despite being caught on video receiving a bribe, continued his career with minimal repercussions.

This stark contrast highlights the injustice Siasia faced, but Mighty Jets Int’l FC believes his experience and expertise will continue to shine in the realm of football.

Coach Siasia’s contributions to Nigerian football are truly remarkable. He has not only been an outstanding player, who helped Nigeria win the African Cup of Nations in 1994, but also a brilliant coach, who has nurtured young talents and enhanced the country’s football reputation on the world stage.

As Siasia makes his return to the world of football, the Mighty Jets Int’l FC, along with the Nigerian football community at large, welcomes him with open arms. They are confident that his return will herald new successes and further cement his legacy as one of Nigeria’s brightest footballing minds.
