The last has certainly not been heard of the tussle between Samson Siasia, former Super Eagles coach and the Nigerian Football Federation, (NFF).
The embittered coach who who was relieved of his job on friday, 28th October, 2011 declared during an interview that the Board of the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF)  has breached the terms of his employment contract by refusing to pay his salaries and allowances when he was in service, in view of this, he has dragged them to an Abuja High Court.
Musa Ahmadu, Secretary General, Nigeria Football Federation who got wind of the issue confirmed that he is still being owed salary arrears and would be paid before the year runs out
The Accra-born ex coach challenged his sack and cleverly extracted a clause in his contract, "if the need arises for the termination of the contract by either of the parties there should be 30 days notification before the contract can be terminated."
When a member of the board stated he was shocked at Siasia's legal move, the ex-coach insisted he had to enforce his rights within the context of the employment contract he signed with NFF.
