The victorious U-23 Eagles on Tuesday returned to Nigeria with the head coach, Samson Siasia giving the players a one-week break to rest, be with their families and get set for the task ahead. Led by chairman of the Nigeria Football Federation Technical and Development Committee, Felix Anyansi-Agwu, the U-23 team delegation landed at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, few minutes after noon on Tuesday, aboard an Ethiopian Airline flight.
Siasia warned the boys to remain focused and be good ambassadors of the team in their various clubs as any negative report from their clubs will be taken serious by the team’s management. The team secured passage to the Africa Ur-23 Championships to be held later in the year in Senegal after playing out a goalless draw in Pointe Noire on Sunday. Samson Siasia’s team progressed 2-1 on aggregate after winning the first leg 2-1 in Port Harcourt a fortnight ago to book a place for the Olympic qualifying event.
