I was not sacked, says Keshi
Stephen Keshi has exclusively revealed
to supersport.com that he was not
sacked as the head coach of the Super
Eagles because he had no contract with
the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).
The new NFF board showed Keshi the
exit on Thursday morning as national
team coach, despite his side's 3-1 home
win against Sudan that kept the Super
Eagles in the running to defend their
African title.
Keshi divulged to supersport.com in Ilorin that he is surprised on
how the news was disseminated that he was sacked as the Nigerian
manager.
“I am not happy with the way media people are reporting this to the
public, because I don't understand how you would fire someone that
has no contract.
“My contract expired after the World Cup in Brazil, and I never made
any effort for my contract to be renewed because of so many issues
on the ground.
“I have accepted my fate, and I would move on with my life, but I
want to make it clear that I was never sacked because I had no
contract,” Keshi told supersport.com
It has been widely reported that Keshi had revealed that three
African countries have showed interest in him to be their national
team coach, but Keshi revealed that he never said such.
“I have never told anybody that three African countries are looking
for me, and as far as I'm concerned, no nation has called me for any
talk,” he added to supersport.com.
The Super Eagles must win their next two games against Congo and
South Africa to have any chance of qualifying for next year's Africa
Cup of Nations, and Keshi believes Nigeria would qualify for the
championship.
“I know Nigeria would qualify for the 2015 Nations Cup because we
have the players that can do the job, but they need a lot of
encouragement and support from Nigerians and I wish them good
luck in their next two games,” Keshi said to supersport.com in Ilorin
Keshi has been replaced with Shuaibu Amodu and his re-
appointment comes four years after he was sacked and stopped
from leading the country to the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
Nigeria have four points after three matches, while Congo who are
the next opponents of the African champions are second on seven
points in Group A of the Afcon qualification. Group leaders, South
Africa, travel to Nigeria for the final qualifying game on November
19.
