Former Super Eagles Head Coach, Stephen
Keshi, has said that he is proud of his
achievements during his spell as Nigeria’s
manager.
In a chat with ESPN football pundit, Colin Udoh,
the former Togo and Mali gaffer said that
despite criticism of him in the media that he
drew most of Eagles last matches, he did what
most indigenous coaches were afraid of doing
at the Eagles job.
“People keep saying I drew a lot of matches. But
how many Nigerian coaches agreed to play
friendly matches all the time. Or to use home-
based players without fear but people don't see
that. Every time it's Keshi this and Keshi that.
He also said he was happy that the drama was
finally over, as was his family.
“I am not bitter. I'm just disappointed in some of
you,” he pointed out, referring to journalists.
“Now people can stop talking about Keshi.”
Speaking also about those accusing him of
name-dropping to harass the Nigeria Football
Federation chiefs into doing his bidding, Keshi
insisted that he had no access to President
Goodluck Jonathan during his time on the job.
“Then they say I always try to use the President
against them. President that I cannot even see!”
Keshi revealed some of his handicaps while on
the Nigerian job.
“How many good pitches do we have in this
country? We say we are a football nation and
we don't even have good training pitches for the
national team, or good field to play on.
“Instead, there are artificial pitches everywhere,
even the new stadium in Uyo, it was when I
heard from the governor (Dr Godswill Akpabio)
that they wanted to lay artificial turf on the
facility that I had to shout and tell him no way.
That was why we now have natural grass on
that pitch there. But why should I be the one to
say it? Where are the journalists?” queried the
ex-international fondly called the Big Boss.
Meanwhile, Ethiopian Football Association
yesterday rubbished speculations that the
country desperately needed Keshi to handle the
Walya Antelopes. They said that they never
approached Keshi nor even receive any
application from him.
