The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) confirmed
it will investigate reports that Super Eagles
coach, Stephen Keshi, applied to manage Cote d’
Ivoire.
On Friday, the Ivorien Football Federation (FIF)
announced it had received 59 applications in the
race to succeed Herve Renard.
The list will be then be narrowed down to three
who will be interviewed.
The FIF initially published the name of every
man to declare interest in the job, including
Stephen Keshi.
He is still employed by Nigeria having signed a
new deal in April.
The page on FIFA website listing Keshi and 58
other applicants for the Elephants job has been
taken down but the NFF insists that will not
prevent ‘a full investigation’.
“The NFF will open a full investigation to
determine whether Mr Stephen Keshi actually
applied for the vacant Cote d’ Ivoire job,” NFF
spokesman Ademola Olajire told BBC Sport.
“There will be no hasty decision. We hope to get
a full part from the Cote d’ Ivoire Football
Federation before making an official statement.”
Keshi returned as Nigeria coach for the third
time in April by signing a two-year contract with
the NFF.
In his first spell he won the 2013 Africa Cup of
Nations but the deal was not renewed after the
2014 World Cup.
He later returned on a match-by-match deal,
which ended in November 2014 after failure to
reach the 2015 Nations Cup.
As caretaker coach, Keshi endured a turbulent
2014, in which he was sacked by the NFF and
only reinstalled after intervention from then
Nigeria President, Goodluck Jonathan.
Keshi, who also won the Nations Cup as a player
in 1994, declined to comment on his decision to
apply to manage the African champions.

I just hope he applied for the job shortly after he became Eagles coach. That would be a delight and his departure would be signed, sealed and delivered.

Trust me, NFF is just waiting for Keshi to fvck up and he gets the boot.
