Super Eagles cannot win 2023 AFCON as the team is unorganized – Siasia

Former Super Eagles head coach Samson Siasia says his players need to improve their performance to have a chance of competing for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations title.
The Super Eagles were far from convincing in their last two matches against Lesotho and Zimbabwe.
The poor performance cast doubt on Jose Peceiro’s side’s chances of winning a fourth title in Ivory Coast.
Sciasia, a member of the Super Eagles that won the AFCON in Tunisia in 1994, insisted that players and technical staff needed to work harder to have a chance of making a positive impact at the AFCON.
“Like most Nigerians, I am worried about the Eagles’ lackluster performances so far. It’s not a good sign that we’re ready to qualify for the 2026 World Cup,” the former striker said in an interview with Channels TV.
“Don’t fool yourself, you can’t be the best in Africa with this unorganized team. We want our players to know what it means to wear the country’s green and white jersey. At the same time, coaches need to improve their tactical approach.”
The Super Eagles will open the 2023 AFCON against Equatorial Guinea on January 14 at the Alhassan Quattara Stadium in Ebimpe.
They will play host country Ivory Coast on January 18th and Guinea-Bissau on the 22nd.
