Former Super Eagles Coach, Samson Siasia said he had lodged an appeal against his life ban from the game by world football governing body, FIFA.
Siasia was banned for life from the game, following a match-fixing probe by FIFA.
Siasia, who spoke in Abuja through his associate, Opukiri Jones-Ere, said his lawyers had submitted an appeal against the ban to the Court of Arbitration for Sport CAS.
On August 16th, FIFA said in a statement said that the adjudicatory chamber of its independent ethics committee found the 51-year-old Siasia guilty.
He was “guilty of having accepted that he will receive bribes in relation to manipulation of matches in violation of FIFA Code of Ethics.
