Keshi’s Contract To Be Sealed After Easter Break by Wisdytech(m): 2:01pm On Apr 05, 2015 |
By Duro Ikhazuagbe, President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Amaju Pinnick, restated last night that the decision to hire Stephen Keshi for another term as Super Eagles head coach remained on track despite speculations that the deal might be jettisoned because his backers have lost out in the country’s power game. The new two-year contract was expected to be signed between Keshi and the federation shortly after Nigeria’s international friendly with Uganda but had to be shelved because chiefs at the Glass House were out of Abuja for the Presidential Elections in their respective states. A football-only online website had even gone ahead to report yesterday that the outcome of the election which opposition candidate, Muhammadu Buhari, won was going to be the major determinant of whether Keshi was going to return to the post. Most top All Progressives Congress (APC) members who are followers of events at the Glass House have never hidden their annoyance with attempts to bring back Keshi to the Eagles job after failing to qualify Nigeria for the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations hosted by Equatorial Guinea early this year. They insisted that Keshi should be given same treatment handed out to Samson Siasia when he similarly failed in 2011. But sources close to the NFF president confided in THISDAY last night that Keshi’s contract will be signed once he agrees to the terms of the contract. “There is no truth in the speculations that Keshi’s contract will no longer be signed because President Goodluck Jonathan lost his bid to return for a second term. Once Keshi accepts the terms of his contract, we are going to sign the contract immediately after the Easter break,” revealed the top football official last night. Last Wednesday, Pinnick similarly dismissed speculations that the deal Keshi called ‘Slave Contract’ was off the table. Pinnick told reporters in Abuja that Keshi’s contract has been approved by the NFF board. “I can confirm that to Nigerians that the board has approved the contract. All that is left now is for him to sign it. As we speak Keshi has not put pen to paper,” revealed Pinnick to the reporters covering the Glass House. The Big Boss, as Keshi is called, has been in charge of the Super Eagles since 2011 but despite winning the AFCON in 2013 calls have been strident for his contract not to be renewed. Many Nigerians want him out due to the poor results as of late. Keshi reportedly resigned from his post two times in the past and at one point he was sacked by the NFF board only to be reinstated weeks later due to intervention from top officials in the Jonathan administration.

Sighs, I am trying to figure out exactly what Keshi has done to get another two year contract. This does not make sense to me. You do not need a masters degree to realize this guy has taken Nigeria as far as he can. He is NOT GOOD ENOUGH. |
