Siasia
Nigeria’s interim coach, Samson Siasia, has given up in his attempts to have Vincent Enyeama and Emmanuel Emenike back in the Super Eagles squad.
The two players announced their retirement from international football last October, after having issues with former coach, Sunday Oliseh.
Siasia asked the duo to reconsider their decisions after replacing Oliseh, but both Emenike and Enyeama indicated they were done with Nigeria.
“You can’t force them to rescind their decision and we have to respect that.
“I felt they left under a cloudy circumstance. It was only an opportunity for them to reconsider their stance but it appears they’ve both decided to stick by their retirement.
“Nigeria is blessed with talented footballers and we need to work with those players. We have to live away from the past and focus on a promising future,” Siasia told BBC Sport.
