Nigeria’s head coach to the recent World Cup in Brazil, Stephen Okechukwu Keshi has indirectly set himself up for a formal exit from the Super Eagles’ job, as the one fondly called Big Boss!!! BBC Sport reported that Keshi has appeared to rule himself out of a return as Nigeria’s coach after losing patience with the NFF saying, Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) officials are not serious
about accepting his terms for a new contract.
Keshi’s contract expired on 30 June, shortly after he led Nigeria to the last 16 at the World Cup, and he had been negotiating a new deal.It may interst you to know that,Talks had been ongoing since July but a series of delays caused by problems within the federation, including the sacking and the FIFA-ordered reinstatement of the NFF’s president, Alhaji Aminu Maigari.which parts of what is pissing the Big Boss off!
Adding that,“There’s a game in two weeks, but no-one is thinking about it and at the same time they expect you to win,” Kehsi continued. “I understand the ongoing crisis facing the federation but the national team should not suffer from such at this crucial stage.
So far,the NFF officials are understood to have offered Keshi a new four-year deal and aN5m monthly he was paid in his first stint, but the coach has asked for an increase and says he has rejected other offers while the negotiations have been going on.“I love my country and I am aware of the dream our fans had of me taking this team to the next level. I’ve had about seven countries approach me in the last two months but I kept them all away. Keshi says
“While acknowledging the efforts of some people involved in the negotiation..
Do you think either Keshi or NFF is doing the right thing here?
