NFF yet to offer Keshi fresh contract

Re-appointed Super Eagles coach, Stephen Keshi has not
yet been given a new contract by the Nigeria Football
Federation. Indeed, discussion on new contract has not
been reopened, informed sources have said.
Keshi has been in the shadows since his infamous
reinstatement as Super Eagles head coach as we gathered
he was still trying to straighten certain aspects of his
continuous stay with the team before the resumption of the
2015 Afcon qualifiers camp today
The ‘Big Boss’, as he is fondly called was conspicuously
absent from the touchline during the international friendly
between Ghana U-23 team, the Black Meteors and the
home-based Super Eagles at the commissioning of the new
Akwa Ibom International Stadium in Uyo on Friday. He
however made a surprise appearance during the medal
presentation ceremony to receive his medal.
“There’s no contract offer at the moment, it could be
revisited at the end of the Nations Cup qualifiers,” an NFF
official said in Abuja, at the weekend.
“The decision to allow him finish the qualifications came
from above [the presidency], he is working based on a
previous arrangement agreed after the World Cup,” the
source continued
The 52-year-old is paying the price for poor results in
qualification for next year’s Africa Cup of Nations but he
was given a chance to make amends following the
intervention of the presidency.
Nigeria face Congo and South Africa in the coming days,
needing two wins to stand a chance of making it to the 2015
tournament.
