Former Nigeria Super Eagles head coach Samson Siasia is among the top applicants for the vacant Uganda Cranes coaching role.
According to our reliable sources, Siasia, who lost only once as the Super Eagles manager between 2010 and 2011, has reportedly dropped his CV at FUFA for consideration for the job that was left vacant after immediate former head coach Bobby Williamson was shown the door.
The former Nigerian international striker was the coach of the Nigerian Olympic Team (Dream Team IV), who won a silver medal for Nigeria, losing to Argentina in the finals by a lone goal in 2008.
He had previously coached the country’s U20, and U23 sides where he led the U-20 team to win the African Youth Championship 2005 in Benin.
Also in the list of applicants for the Cranes job is Macedonia national Nikola Ilievski who holds a Uefa Pro Licence.
Ilievski is currently the head coach of FK Vardar, a member of the First Macedonian Football League.
The Macedonian was the head coach for the Bangladesh National Team between 2011-2012.
Others hunting for the same post include Tom Saintfiet, who is the former head coach for Tanzania giants Simba SC.
