Samson Siasia (born 14 August 1967) is a Nigerian former professional football striker and the former head coach of the Nigeria national team from 2010 to October 2011.[1] He was reappointed in 2016.
On 16 August 2019, FIFA banned Siasia from all football activities for life (later reduced to five years[2][3]), following a match-fixing investigation. The adjudicatory chamber of FIFA’s independent Ethics Committee alleged that the former Nigerian coach is guilty of "bribes in relation to the manipulation of matches in violation of the FIFA Code of Ethics".[4]
