Well!...Stephen Keshi has reportedly demanded a significant salary hike to sign a new contract to remain as Nigeria coach.

According to africanfootball.com on Tuesday, Keshi, who announced last week that his contract with the Nigeria Football Federation had expired after the Super Eagles crashed out of the World Cup following their 2-0 defeat by France, told President Goodluck Jonathan that he will sign a new deal if the NFF agrees to pay him N10m a month. The former Nigeria captain received N5m a month in his initial contract.

Africanfootball.com reported that Keshi made the demand when he met with Jonathan at the Aso Rock Villa in Abuja on arrival from the World Cup in Brazil. He was also said to have demanded that his new salary be paid upfront to avoid the delays he suffered in the previous deal, as well as the recall of his former assistant Sylvanus Okpalla.

A top official at the Presidential Villa told africanfootball.com, “He (Keshi) demanded for N10m a month, which he wants to be paid upfront to check any delays.

“He also wanted what he called a free hand as regards his team selection and preparations, saying he no longer wishes to deal with the technical committee.He also wanted Okpalla back to his backroom staff.

“The President has assured him that his demands will be considered.”

Meanwhile, Keshi pocketed a total of $300,000 when he led Nigeria to the last 16 of the World Cup, africanfootball.com has learned.

He reportedly got $260,000 as appearance fee for the World Cup .

Overpriced Overrated Egocentric mumu.

For managing to win a match outa 4? For playing a despicable Mikel for 360 minutes of mediocrity? For wasting 12 spots out of 23? there by giving up an impactless bench! This guy is living in a dream world.

He should be paid all this money ãпԃ be given free hand Fø̲̣̣я losing right? Then what will Argentina, Netherland, Germany or even french coach that won him etc do Fø̲̣̣я their respective coaches?? Lubbishh.

lemme just reserve my comment for now..

This news must be false

In as much as i would have loved keshi to stay..His demand is way too high..imagine a limited tactical coach to earn 120M in year!!!...240M in two years?...OGBENI STEPHEN KESHI,JADANU KURO NIBI BAYI JOOR

Lets be professional and diplomatic here...There is no need to criticize him. Its a contract and if he promises to deliver the dividends of the agreement.

No Problem. I hope he is aware that "to whom much is given, much is expected !!! "

Frankly speaking, its too late to start changing the coach, considering the fact that AFCON is around the corner. Moreover, the new coach might still end up not performing as expected given the short time.
