Nigerian coach Stephen Keshi
have been relieved of his job as the coach of Nigeria and replaced by Shaibu Amodu, the country's
Football Federation (NFF) has announced. The move comes barely two weeks after the NFF opened an investigation into
reports that Keshi applied to manage Ivory Coast while under a valid contract
with Nigeria.
Keshi recently claimed an un-named agent had submitted his name without his knowledge for the Ivory Coast position:
“The Nigeria Football Federation has decided to exercise its option to summarily terminate the employment contract of Mr. Stephen Keshi with the Federation with immediate effect”
The NFF statement outlined his fate saying: "Having thoroughly reviewed the reports/findings of the NFF Disciplinary
Committee and NFF Technical and Development Committee, as well as having
reviewed the actions and inactions of Mr. Stephen Keshi, in the performance of
his duties as Super Eagles' Head Coach, which we found to lack the required
commitment to achieve the Federation's objectives as set out in the Coach's
employment contract."
Hmn this is serious oh! NFF and its disciplinary methods. What do you think about this. Is this the right time to sack the Big Boss...when qualifiers are around the corner? Share your thoughts!!!
