National under 23 coach Samson Siasia has said that building a strong team for Nigeria will be difficult.
Siasia is on his second stint with the under 23 side, and is being tasked with the challenge of qualifying Nigeria for the All African Games and also the Rio 2016 Olympics.
And he has admitted that it will not be an easy feat, although he said he is committed to doing well.
“It’s a big challenge and it’s always a challenge for us and hopefully we will surmount the challenge and build a good team,” Siasia told SL10.ng.
“I know they (Nigerians) support me and I appreciate them and hopefully we will build a very good team for the country,” he added.
“Well I know they expect a lot from me, we’ve just started and gradually we’ll get there. They have to be very patient because we are working very hard to produce a team that will make the country very proud.”
