Stephen Keshi Reacts To SACK By NFF by oluwadanie1(m): 2:46pm On Oct 16, 2014
The Super Eagles Coach, Stephen
Keshi, in reaction to his sack on
Wednesday night by the newly elected
Nigeria Football Federation’s board, has said it is time
for him to move on.

Keshi seemed to be in good spirits while speaking
with PREMIUM TIMES on Thursday morning, shortly
after his dismissal.
“It is about time for me to move on, my dear. This is
not the end of the world for me,” he said.

During Nigeria’s Wednesday encounter with Sudan in
Abuja, a match which ended 3-1 in favour of the
Super Eagles, Nigerian fans at the packed stadium
started chanting as Keshi stepped onto the pitch:
“You must go.”

The coach, who took the Super Eagles job four years
ago, won the 2013 African Cup of Nations, AFCON, in
South Africa and led the team to the 2014 FIFA World
Cup and the 2014 Confederations Cup, both in Brazil.
However, he has been struggling to qualify Nigeria for
the 2015 Afcon, and has so far recorded a home and
away defeat in Calabar and Sudan respectively.

Following the 2013 Afcon, Keshi failed to stick with the
winning team of players and has been inconsistent in
his choice of players for other competitions. He was
criticised for the calibre of players he selected to play
at the World Cup, a run that ended at the round of 16.

Meanwhile, in spite of the sack, he and his former
assistants, Daniel Amokachi and Ike Shorounmu, are
expected to proceed for a coaching course, fully
funded by the NFF in any country of their choice.
