NFF Considers Keshi A Coach on match- by-match basis
coach, Stephen Okechukwu Keshi will be
defined by the yet to be elected Executive
Committee of the Nigeria Football
Federation.
Our usually dependable source revealed that,
so long as the NFF exco remains to be elected,
Keshi's services will be needed on a match-by-
match basis.
"For now, that is the much management can
do."
The source further disclosed that because
there was no EXCO on ground, the
management could not take any further step
than to hire him on match by match basis..
"Management cannot go ahead and employ the
coach because it is not known whether the new
board would want him or not," our source said.
As things stand, Keshi's future with the Super
Eagles remains uncertain as the FA seeks to
regain its stability with the September 30
elections of a new board in Warri.
The Aminu Maigari-led board was ready to
dispense with Keshi after the 2014 World Cup
in Brazil but the crisis that followed after the
World Cup resulted in creating a vacuum for
the post of a head coach for the team.
This in turn necessitated the Sports Minister's
intervention when he called in Keshi to lead
the team to the first phase of the 2015 Afcon
qualifiers which the Eagles have garnered a
solitary point from a possible six after a 2-3
loss to Congo and a goalless draw against South
Africa.
The outcome of the two matches have done
great disservice to Keshi's bid to return.
As it appears, the coach will continue to handle
the team on a match-by-match basis until the
coming board formalises his contract or
dispenses with him.
