Stephen Keshi, who was sacked on Saturday as
head coach of Nigeria’s Super Eagles, is threatening to file
a case against the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) at
the FIFA Court of Arbitration.

Mr. Keshi was fired over allegations that he applied for
a job to coach Les Elephants of Cote d’Ivoire. The
former Super Eagles coach denied seeking the Ivorian
coaching job, according to a report prepared by the
NFF disciplinary committee following a meeting
attended by Mr. Keshi before his sack. However, the
NFF insisted that the embattled coach did not present
enough strong evidence to prove his innocence.

Subsequently, the NFF considered the coach’s alleged
application for the coaching job in Cote d’Ivoire as a
breach of contract. The Nigerian football governing
body therefore felt justified in removing Mr. Keshi, who
led Nigeria to the AFCON Cup, without giving him any
financial compensation.

The NFF’s report disclosed that Mr. Keshi appeared
before the disciplinary panel regarding the allegation
against him, adding that the coach declared that it
was not true that he, his agent or anybody acting on
his behalf applied for the vacant position with the Les
Elephant of Cote D’Ivoire. But the football body stated
that the sacked coach “did not back his statement
with any evidence.”

The report stated that the sacked coach’s contract
had stipulated that he “shall not engage in any other
service or business whatsoever during the term of his
employment and shall, unless prevented by ill-health,
devote all his time and attention to the service of the
NFF as may be necessary for the proper exercise of
his duties.”

Despite the evidence against him, Mr. Keshi
maintained he did not apply for any job. The coach,
who previously coached in Mali and Togo, indicated his
intention to take his case to the FIFA arbitration
process in order to claim his entitlement and seek
justice.

Mr. Keshi is the second African coach to have won
the African Cup of Nations both as a player and coach
(1994 as a player, and 2013 as a coach). The only
other person was the now late Egyptian, Mahmoud El
Gohary, who won the trophy in 1959 as a player, and
later won it again as a coach in 1998.

hmm can they sack a foreign coach like that? unconfirmed allegation....

.Stephen OKECHUKWU keshi, you are fired already, stop making noise.SALISU YUSUF will be made the substantive coach of the super eagles and this decision is final. If English FA can sack Fabio capello, who the hell is keshi?

Haba! na, He said he wants to be with his family and love ones, so where is this news coming from again? keshi no matter how tough it is with u now my candid advice is that u relax ur mind and think well cos dis decision might leave u in regret, winning a case against NFF in court will be impossicant.

Thot he said they should leave him.. ..

Keshi•••good luck with that..na time u get

Who cares?

CONDOLENCE TO THOSE THAT LOST THERE LOVE ONES ON YESTERDAYS BOMBINGS THAT OCCURRED IN KADUNA KANO JOS,,MAY ALLAH GIVE THE FAMILY THE FORTITUDE TO BEAR THE LOST ..AMEN.

Keshi and the NFF.Unending brick-bats.Can't he just leave them in peace.Keshis desperation for the Super Eagles job is just mind-boggling

I think he needs to grow up
