The NFF on Saturday, July 4 sacked former coach » Stephen Keshi over what they called 'lack of commitment' on the side on the two time African Nations Cup winner-as a player and as a coach. NFF technical director Shaibu Amodu and assistant coach Salisu Yusuf were placed in charge of the Super Eagles on interim bases » while the search for the next coach contines.
