Former Super Eagles coach Samson Siasia has downplayed the chances of the current squad under the leadership of German tactician Gernot Rohr to win the AFCON in Egypt.

Speaking in a telephone interview with brila.net, Siasia said Rohr’s team is a youth team and one for the future.

’The teams handlers are doing a great job with a very young team’ Saisia started.

’However, I don’t think the team is formidable enough to be African champions just yet’

Siasia who won the African Cup of Nations as a Player in 1994 in Tunisia has managed team but failed to qualify for the Nations Cup in 2017.
