NFF replace Keshi with Amodu, appoint Siasia new U-23 boss by donefezy: 6:42am On Oct 16, 2014
The Nigeria Football Federation have relieved Super
Eagles coach Stephen Keshi and his assistants Daniel
Amokachi and Ike Shorunmu of their duties following
Nigeria’s unimpressive run in the 2015 African Cup of
Nations qualifiers.
The Eagles are third in the Group A of the AFCON
2015 qualification table with just four points after
three games. The African champions lost to Congo
and Sudan and managed to hold South Africa to a
barren draw.
The Executive Committee of the NFF rose from its
meeting which started late on Wednesday,
immediately after the 3-1 win over Sudan, and ended
early hours of Thursday morning and opted to
remove Keshi and appoint Shuaibu Amodu as the
interim coach of the national team.
The one-time BCC Lions coach who qualified Nigeria
to its second World Cup appearance in 2002 and took
the team to that year’s African Cup of Nations finals
in Mali will be assisted by Salisu Yususf, Gbenga
Ogunbote and goalkeeper trainerAlloy Agu. The trio
will be in charge of the national team pending the
appointment of a foreign manager on a permanent
basis.
Keshi, Amokachi and Shorounmu will however
proceed on a coaching course at the expense of the
Nigeria Football Federation. Their entitlements,
according to the NFF, will be paid within the next two
weeks.
The team’s Secretary, Dayo Enebi, however retained
his job.
The NFF also confirmed the appointment of former
Eagles coach, Samson Siasia, as the new coach of the
country’s U-23 national team. Siasia will be assisted
by Fatai Amoo, while the Technical and Development
will recommend the other members of the crew.
