Super Eagles head coach, Stephen Keshi, has been sacked by the new
Nigerian Football Federation board over poor performance.
This is
despite Nigeria’s win over Sudan in an African Cup of Nations Qualifier
last night. Sacked along with Keshi are his back-room coaching staff
including, Daniel Amokachi and Ike Shoronmu. All three have been offered
an NFF-sponsored coaching course in any part of the world they desire.
In the meantime, three time Eagles’ coach, Amodu Shuaibu, has been
named caretaker boss to oversee the remainder of Nigeria’s qualifiers.
Meanwhile, Nigerian sports lovers have since taken to twitter to lament/rejoice
over the news.
They further blamed the NFF for always recycling the
coaches.
One Adekunle who tweets @planox86 wrote “Sacking Keshi and replacing
him with Amodu is like a Bloody backward step. We can like to recycle
sha”
Another twitter user, Mr spike wrote “Nigerian football is a merry go
round,don’t be surprised in the no distant future Keshi is called upon
to salvage us.”
One @kufremafe even
went as far as pouring blames on the media. “The media should stop
saying Keshi was sacked. Keshi never had a contract.” he tweeted.
