Stephen Keshi Return Again To Lead Nigeria In Remaining Afcon Qualifiers

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.
Goalfindings 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.
