NFF to end coach Stephen Keshi's contract after World Cup

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) could end its relationship with Stephen Keshi’s as Super Eagles manager after the summer World cup in Brazil irrespective of the team’s performance.

A source in the NFF has disclosed that the federation has started bracing up for life after Keshi’s tenure, insisting that the coach has limited tolerance for candid advice from the authorities.

“I can tell you right here that Keshi’s contract will not be renewed. Of course, another test case for him is the World Cup; we have given him all the necessary assistants and free hand he requires to succeed, but the World Cup will be the destination point between us.”

The source, who did not disclose specific offence that the coach committed simply said, “Don’t you read the newspapers? He ignores simple official administrative directives, fails to pardon even the most cool-headed and experienced Nigerian players. We cannot further harbour such inconsistencies in our fold.”

The NFF, the source admitted appreciates some of Keshi’s achievement within the continent, but that it was not certain Keshi would replicate such successes on the global stage.

“Let me inform you, players form synergy among themselves and when any of them feels ill-treated, others will subtly queue behind their colleague, this is the kind of things the federation wants to avoid but instead of avoiding it, the coach is magnifying it everyday. This we understand is a ploy for an excuse should the team fails to deliver in Brazil.”

The NFF technical committee recently issued a query to Keshi for failure to attend official engagement in Abuja.

Secondly, the federation’s technical committee members could not fathom why the coach refused to invite certain players to the national team.

Keshi it was gathered has also jettisoned a technical assistance suggested to him by the federation, but rather chose to go to the World Cup with depleted technical crew.








I saw this coming sooner than later...smh

Why are these corrupt people destabilizing the team two months to the World Cup?
The job of the FA right now is to make sure the coach and the team have everything they need to achieve the best possible results at the World Cup, and undermining the coach is not the way to achieve this .

Who are the federation’s technical committee members

Good and he will still have job offers waiting for him!

[mcal]

...see these idiots, just like Norwich football club.

[ohenhen1]

Keshi should demand a pay raise, and include penalties into his contract if the NFF miss a scheduled payment.

[vancity eagle]

Good

Let him go establish his marketing business somewhere else. We don't need his nonsense and fighting with key players to satisfy his ego.

Good riddance.

Attitude determines altitude . There is no gainsaying that Keshi is inordinately stubborn and has manifested flagrant insubordination to his superiors . He is not loyal and and consummate team player. Apparently his poor attitude is detrimental and pernicious to the progress of Super eagles . The man is unnecessarily supercilious . Since his fortuitous victories in AFCON what has he achieved that is commendable? On two occasions Nigeria could not even beat common Mexico who struggled tremendously in weak federation before they qualified for World Cup. The performances of Super eagles in confederation were absolutely piss poor . His haughtiness is total puerile,gratuitous and buffoonish because he has not accomplished anything sterling . Honestly I will take Siasia over him anytime.

[wanaj0]

NFF should just pay the salary! You are going to WC with a coach you have not paid his salary for like 6 months. Is that how to support the team?

While it is easy to label this article as junk, it is likely based on a private conversation with an NFF guy who wants to be off-record for very good reasons. Why would you want to be identified and be roundly attacked by fans?

I do believe, however, that the story is intact a reflection of NFF's feeling particularly if members of NFF are unable to get their preferred players invited to the WC camp. They surely will not want Keshi back except if somehow he gets to the semis. The reality is that Keshi will face a lot of issues at the WC. Bet on it. Scorned NFF officials will be making up stories and leaking stuff in the coming weeks as they try to cumulate reasons for firing the coach.

IMHO, Keshi is likely to quit at the WC and seeking other options. If he gets to the semis he will either quit or play hardball if the NFF seek to renew his contract. Bet on it. Keshi will not come cheap if he is to be contracted after the WC. The NFF will then have what they want -- another search for a coach with Oliseh a possible candidate but with some officials dreading Oliseh based on his antecedents as a player. Oliseh surely will not let them impose players. Thus, they will be back accusing him as being "arrogant and stubborn" (Code for resisting interference) as they did in the case of Amodu and are now doing with Keshi.

KPOM! On all points, however, for some inexplicable reason, God always takes a nap at the mention of 9ja, but wakes up just in time to save them.

I also have a feeling that Keshi will leave after the WC unless the Power above the NFF step in..
NFF will probably not appoint any Former player especially Keshi Generation to Manage the Team anymore..
After Keshi, They get their Oyinbo--Once things start going South, They Look inward again.. (Routine)
Keshi should keep his head up and keep doing his Job.. Already a Proven Coach in my Book..

And yet some are wondering why Nigerians have no love for the NFF or our football. It is mismanaged. When they manage to stumble on the blueprint for success, they manage to destroy it with their shortsightedness.

[pajimoh]

I personally will not hold it against Keshi if he resigns after the WC. It would only mean our football will go back to the dark ages where these guys thrive in failure and god-fatherism.
No coach has ever really succeeded in Nigeria without having to battle the NFF to get things done.
Incompetent bureaucrats trying to think like technocrats while treating the office of a coach as if its a democracy
THEM ALL

[Eaglezbeak]

Well they didn't need to broadcast this before the World Cup,Keshi should concentrate on the task in hand & resign straight after the World Cup telling them to keep their change!

Bro, it's beyond disgusting and shameless. I'm almost lost for words.

This your post is the sort of selfish minded thought process that keeps holding Nigeria down. Who needs enemies when we've got ourselves?

[Purity]

Keshi will head to South African after the world cup, He is the best coach in Africa now.
