Newly appointed Nigeria’s interim coach, Samson Siasia, have given a hint that he may recall former captain Vincent Enyeama and Emmanuel Emenike back to the Super Eagles squad. Both players had announced their retirement in what was seen as their disapproval of former coach Sunday Oliseh’s ways. Speaking to journalists shortly after his appointment, Siasia said:
