Following the request by the president for the reinstatement of
the coach, the Big Boss has said he won’t mind returning to
the Super Eagles
Coach Stephen Keshi has said he is willing to return to take
charge of the Super Eagles if asked by President Goodluck
Jonathan.
During a reconciliatory meeting with the warring factions of
the Nigeria Football Federation on Wednesday night, President
Jonathan demanded the reinstatement of Keshi as coach..
The former Togo and Mali national team coach was sacked
two weeks ago following his team's 3-1 win over Sudan for
poor start to the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers where the
Eagles have only picked up four points out of a possible 12
leaving the team on the brink.
The Afcon 2013 winner said he had no pre-knowledge of his
recall to his post nor his ordered return by the President.
"Well I am just hearing from you. But if the President of my
country asked me to return, who am I to refuse," he told
media at the Abuja National Stadium on Thursday.
Nigeria needs to win their two remaining qualifiers against
Congo and South Africa next month to seal a spot at the
finals of the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations as defending
champions.
