“We are very disappointed. We couldn’tdo it,” Samson Siasia.

Super Eagles interim coach Samson Siasia has
expressed his disappointment at losing to Egypt
in last night's AFCON qualifier but says he is
proud of the effort put in by his players over the
two legged fixture. 

Nigeria's loss to Egypt
means the Super Eagles won't participate at the
2017 AFCON tournament in Gabon, the second
time in two straight years.

Siasia, who took over from Sunday Oliseh after
his shock resignation, says he inherited a
'broken' team.

“We are very disappointed. We couldn’t
do it,” said a very sober Siasia to
reporters on arrival in Abuja from
Alexandria, Egypt this morning. “We
inherited a broken team, but we worked
so hard, but it was not to be. I’m proud
of the boys. We were not lucky right from
the first game in Kaduna. And God knows
why. We thank Nigerians for their
support.”
