In many ways we all say this one coming.
Stephen Keshi, the coach of the super eagles
has been sacked by the NFF with Amodu
Shuaibu to take over from him for the final 2
games of the African Nations Cup qualifier.
This comes just after the super eagles won a
qualifying game against Sudan, 3-1 in Abuja.
Prior to that, Nigeria had struggled in the
qualifying stages losing to Congo, and
Sudan, and earning a draw in South Africa in
their first 3 games. A total of 1 out of 9
points during that stretch.
According to a report by sports analyst,
Colins Udoh
The decision was among others
announced by the NFF Executive
Committee after a meeting in Abuja on
Wednesday night ‘in the interest of
Nigerian football and the desire to
ensure qualification for the 2015 Africa
Cup of Nations finals’.
Keshi’s technical and backroom staff
were also fired along with him. In their
place, Salisu Yusuf, Gbenga Ogunbote
and Alloy Agu will join Amodu for the
final two games of the qualifying series.
Nigerians have been divided over the
performance of the coach with some
thinking he deserves to stay on, and others
believing he’s tactically not on par with the
world class coaches. But after winning the
nations cup, and getting to the round of 16
in the World Cup, it’s hard to argue against
his achievements. What are your thoughts
on this?
Should Stephen Keshi Have Been Fired?

Sad news for Nigeria football

Keshi brought this to himself, we all saw it coming now he can't beef or blame players for his woes.
But Amodu?... is he the desirable or just the available.

Watching in 12d

Ok.... You all wanted him out. Now deal with Amodu Shuaibu.
One move forward, three backward

To me sacking Keshi is good but replacing him with Amodu is madness. What exactly does Amodu know? Which club(s) has he coached in the last 7 years, what course has he attended?

They simply gave the job to someone they can order around.

I see no reason why they didn't give the job tto Sunday Oliseh or Saisai ( we all know they made a mistake sacking Saisai in the first place anyway).

Amodu? Very stupid move.

.

Nigerian leaders ,they are either taking the wrong step at the right time or taking the right step at the wrong time . Keshi shouldn't be sacked at this crucial stage ,they should have allowed him to complete the mess he started . Even if nigeria doesn't qualify we can't use the time to get a new coach and start making preparations towards 2018 world cup. Now amodu will come in with his own methods and players and the players will need time to adjust and so many other complications will crop up.

I saw this coming

sweet..let the proud man go and look for a job somewhere else...i pity whoever would employ him.

Sunday Oliseh has no experience as a coach. While siasia is a failure as a SE coach he should remain as U23 coach. Keshi should not have been sacked he is the most successive Nigerian coach and should be allowed to keep his Job till after the qualifications

WHAT A PITY,THIS MAN WANTED TO LEAVE BEFORE NOW honourably BUT THE FG(JONATHAN,DAVID MARK,SPORT MINISTER BEGGED HIM TO STAY,ON 3 occasions NOW THE DUDE IS SACKED WITH SHAME AND THE GOVERNMENT ,SORRY TO KESHI THOUGH,(MORAL LESSONS)fellow your will even if people use any means to draw you from it.

Successful? Cos he won us Afcon? That exactly is the reason he remained on the job for so long.

Do you bother to check his win rate? It was Piss poor. He won AFCON due to the players' strong WILL. I challenge you to check his records since after winning the AFCON.

Why not start the building process now? Why wait this long to sack Keshi and then wait again before a better coach is brought in?

Booked

heard from a top nff official that they want to hire DAVID MOYES

what you want him to win the world cup before you think he is good? He helped us to win the nations cup after Amodu and siasia failed to win the cup. Keshi is one of the best Africa coach. He is the only African to qualify 2 different teams to the world cup, the only African coach to qualify a team to the round of 16 in a world cup. His overall record since he took over his not bad. I blame the NFF for his poor record after the world cup because they failed to support him. Would you perform well in your job if your boss refuse to pay you for over 4 months and offer you no contract. I wish keshi the best and I know we would regret sacking him because I wont be surprise if we don't win any cup for another 20 yrs.

ivory coast abeg hire keshi nd show Nigeria pepper later

Keshi's sack, a welcome development but the replacement is not acceptable, we can do better than that.
