Former Super Eagles midfielder and coach Samson Yebowei Siasia is among a list of coaches reported to have applied for the vacant position of Head Coach at current African Champions, Indomitable Lions of Cameroon.
The position became vacant after the exit of Hugo Broos who failed to qualify Cameroon for the upcoming Russia 2018 World Cup despite being African champions.
Drawn in the same group as Nigeria, the Indomitable Lions lost 4-0 to the Super Eagles at the Godswill Akpabio stadium Uyo in the first leg of the qualifier before forcing the Nigerian to a 1-1 draw in the return leg in Yaoundé.
The Cameroon news outlet Cameroon-info.net revealed the name of the 77 coaches with Samson Siasia and former Indomitable Lions of Cameroon captain Rigobert Song being the notable African names on the lists despite 28 applicant from Cameroon.
Siasia who has 51 caps for Nigeria’s Super Eagles was named Super Eagles coach on February 26, 2016 after the exit of former Super Eagles teammate Sunday Oliseh but was later relieved of his duty.
In February 2017 he was one of a number of managers on the shortlist for the vacant Rwanda national team manager role.
