President of the Nigeria Football Supporters club, Rafiu
Ladipo has pleaded with Super Eagle chief coach,
Stephen Keshi to shun the several offers coming his
way and remain with Nigeria. In a chat with 2muchsports.com, Ladipo stated that he
was aware of the fact that Keshi is now a hot cake
sought after by several countries, but he pleaded with
him to put the interest of the Nigeria above all the
offers. He also pleaded with him to find a way of working
amicably with his employers so as not to avoid th
several disagreement they always have. “I am only appealing to Keshi to shun all those offers
coming his way and remain with the Super Eagles. He
has shown that he is a good coach and everybody is
looking for him. More so, he may desire an improved
status but some times everything is not money,”
Ladipo said. Nigeria coach Stephen Keshi has stepped down from
his post after the country’s elimination from the
World Cup, FIFA said on Tuesday. The Nigerian Football Federation, NFF, has yet to
confirm his resignation, however, and Keshi was
evasive in answering a question on his future after
Monday’s 2-0 loss to France in their last-16 round
encounter in Brasilia. Fifa.com quoted a tweet from Keshi, although earlier
in the tournament Nigerian officials claimed the
manager had no social media presence. “Friends, it has been a good run and I have enjoyed
every moment. It’s been an honour coaching the
Super Eagles. It is however time to bow out,” the
tweet said. Asked what he planned to do after the World Cup,
after being linked to the national team job in South
Africa, Keshi told reporters on Monday: “I’m going
home to visit my wife and kids. I’ve not seen them
for a long time.” The 52-year old, nicknamed “Big Boss”, coached
the Super Eagles to last year’s African Nations Cup
crown. He had been in charge of the side since late
2011 after several previous stints as assistant. Keshi was the captain of Nigeria for their maiden
World Cup appearance in the United States in 1994 and
also worked as national coach of Togo and Mali in the
past.
