Stephen
Keshi has signed a two-year contract extension to manage Nigeria’s
national mens football team, ending months of topsy-turvy speculation
over his future.
It would be recalled that on 19 April, Amaju
Pinnick, President of Nigeria Football Federation, moved to clear doubts
that the former Eagles captain will be offered a new deal.
Pinnick
said the federation was deceiving Keshi with a new contract that would
never be signed, urging Nigerians to do away with such rumour.
“I
am shocked at these insinuations because the NFF Executive Committee
gave the go-ahead for a new contract with Keshi at its meeting in Uyo
last month, and Keshi and his lawyers have looked at the contract
agreement and are satisfied with every word in the final draft.
“As
a Federation, we have gone ahead to arrange some refresher programmes
for Keshi, at nobody’s prodding, and which are meant to enhance Keshi’s
knowledge and improve the man’s capacity as a world-class strategist. We
woud not be doing that if we are not ready to work with him. No one is
forcing Keshi on us.
We have sat down with him and he has agreed
to all terms that we put down and he is ready to work to lift the Super
Eagles back to glorious days.”
