The Nigeria Football Federation NFF on Saturday terminated the appointment of Stephen Keshi as Head Coach of the Senior National Football Team, Super Eagles.


The decision to relieve Keshi of his job by the NFF Executive Committee was premise on his lack of commitment to achieve the Federation’s objectives as set out in the Coach’s employment contract as well as his disposition in performing his duties as Super Eagles’ Head Coach.


The termination of the former Super eagles captain contract according to Barrister Seyi Akinwunmi, who spoke on behalf of the entire Executive Committee of NFF was not done out of prejudice to the settlement of any existing or past financial obligations between the NFF and Mr. Keshi, but was made in the ultimate interest of Nigeria football.


Akinwunmi who thanked Keshi for his services to the country and wished him the very best in his future endeavours hinted that the Super Eagles will now be managed in the interim by by Assistant Coach, Salisu Yusuf and the Technical Directorate of the NFF headed by Coach Shuaibu Amodu, until the Federation names in due course a new Head Coach, who, along with the NFF will chart a new direction for the Super Eagles to ensure credible participation in international competitions and assist in building a sustainable football culture for the country.


Keshi became coach of the Nigerian National Team in 2011 and will be fondly remembered for helping the country win the 2013 African Cup of Nations in South Africa 19 years after Nigeria claimed the biggest prize in African football in Tunisia.
