The big boss has revealed that his main focus is to secure a
place in 2015 Afcon rather than his fate as the Super Eagles
handler
Nigeria head coach Stephen Keshi has stated that his priority
is to see the country qualify for 2015 Africa Cup of Nations
rather than worry about his job as Super Eagles coach.
Keshi was surprisingly replaced by Shaibu Amodu after
Nigeria defeated Sudan 3-1 in 2015 Africa Cup of Nations
qualifying Oct. 16 before getting the nod by the Nigeria
Football Federation to continue in charge of the African
Champions.
According to the former Mali and Togo head coach, there is
life after managing the Super Eagles should he not be handed
a contract at the end of the 2015 Afcon qualifying series.
"I don't think it is proper to say my fate is tied to this job. My
concern right now is the game against Congo, and not
whether I will still be in charge of this team after the match
against Congo or South Africa,” Keshi told journalists on
Wednesday.
"I think you all need to stop this because my destiny is not
tied to Nigeria. I came from somewhere.
"It is wrong to say my destiny is tied here because this
country is bigger than any individual. If I am not the Super
Eagles head coach today, my life will still go on. Also there
are other places where I can go if I stopped being the coach
of this country,” he continued.
"But right now, I have a job to do and that is to ensure that
the team qualifies the country for the Nations Cup. God forbid
if we don't qualify what will happen? It will not only affect
Stephen Keshi, it will also affect you and every other Nigerian
who love this sport.
"So I think this is not about Stephen Keshi but about Nigeria.
All I want from my countrymen is to pray for the team and not
me because I am just one man," he concluded.
