The Big Boss has
been asked to finish the job he began by leading the Super Eagles to the rest
of the qualifiers against Congo and South Africa next month
It seems that
Nigeria have not heard the last of coach Stephen Keshi as he is set to return
to his role in charge of the Super Eagles for next month’s pair of qualifiers
against Congo and South Africa.
On Thursday morning,
the media officer of the Super Eagles Toyin Ibitoye tweeted that Keshi is set
to return to his job.
Goal findings revealed that Keshi has been asked
to return to his post as part of reconciliatory moves in the Nigeria Football
Federation as ordered by President Goodluck Jonathan.
The President has
also asked the faction of Chris Giwa to withdraw its case from court to ensure
that Nigeria is not banned by Fifa.
The NFF is yet to
release any official statement.
Keshi was relieved
of his job on October 16, a day after the Super Eagles defeated Sudan 3-1 in
Abuja, by the Amaju Pinnick-led board of the NFF who re-called former coach
Shaibu Amodu in an interim capacity.
The African
champions had struggled to win just one in four qualifying matches and fans had
begun to call for the coach’s sack.
However, the
Giwa-led faction had always maintained Keshi was still in charge despite the
Big Boss having spoken about intentions to lead the Ghanaian national side, a
fact that the GFA has now ruled out.
The 52-year-old
will now be in charge for the must-win pair of qualifiers next month. Nigeria
are yet to announce their squad.
The Super Eagles
have four points and are behind South Africa (eight points), Congo (seven
points) but ahead of Sudan (three points) in Group A.
