Keshi To Lead Nigeria At World Cup - Sports

NFF Technical Committee
Chairman Chris Green
confirmed that Stephen Keshi
will lead Super Eagles at FIFA
World Cup 2014 in Brazil.
Despite the problems between
Big Boss and NFF Keshi will
remain Nigeria's coach.
Chairman Gren expressed his
sattisfaction with Keshi's work
and assured that all the
insinuations suggesting that he
might be sacked ahead of the
World Cup are false.
„Keshi has qualified us for the
World Cup and that simply
means Keshi would take us to
the World Cup. We are satisfied
with the jobs and results Keshi
has produced. And for those
insinuating for a foreign
technical adviser or whatever
they call it, it would not affect
coach Stephen Keshi because
he remains our head coach and
he will lead the team to the
World Cup." - stated Green
quoted by mtnfootball.com.
Earlier Keshi himself assured
that he is not worried about
losing his job, because it is the
essence of working in the
football world, especially in
Nigeria. Big Boss already
knows the feeling of being
fired ahead of the World Cup.
In 2002 he was assistant to
coach Amodu. Both were fired
before tournament in Japan and
Korea, despite successful
qualification.
„This job is all about hiring and
firing. When I was sacked in
2002 it came as a terrible
shock but that is life, we all
moved on because you can't
keep living in anger and
disappointment. We are talking
about Nigeria here, so you
never know what may happen.
But what is important right
now is that we are only
focusing on what lies ahead
which is preparing my players
and nothing else." - said Keshi
for BBC Sport.
Hopefully now that everything
is clear Super Eagles will be
able to fully focus on World
Cup preparations.
