Since steering Nigeria's Under 23 side to the 2016 Rio Olympics games held in Brazil where they won a bronze medal, Siasia has been out of work, and he has now stated his intention to be the next manager of the Pirates.

“We’re talking, we have been in discussions for the past two weeks and I have already sent them my resume and we will see how it goes.

“My agent will contact me as soon as something comes up. It’s about time I get another job,” the 49-year-old explained.

Meanwhile, aside the Orlando Pirates coaching job, Siasia was also said to be interested in becoming the next coach of the Bafana Bafana of South Africa.

South Africa national senior men football team have been without a coach since December 2016 when former handler Shakes Ephraim was thrown out.
