Former Super Eagles coach Samson Siasia has reacted over FIFA’s decision to ban him for life as unfair.
In an interview, Mr Siasia says he did not receive bribes and expects the adjudicatory chamber of the Independent Ethics Committee to have a fair hearing before giving a verdict.
Siasia admits he was contacted by the committee via e-mail but didn’t see the email during the period of investigation.
“It is unfair for FIFA to give me lifetime ban, while other people involved in the investigation a one-year suspension.”
Siasia who was suppose to brief the media today in Abuja but didn’t show up for the briefing.
However, his legal representative confirmed that there is a planned legal action against the decision.
Fifa imposed a life ban on the former Super Eagles player after finding him guilty of accepting that he would receive bribes in relation to the manipulation of matches.
In addition, he has been fined 50,000 Swiss Francs, that’s about 18.5 million naira.
