Okooo.....The
Nigeria Football Federation president, Amaju Pinnick, has disclosed
that Stephen Keshi could resume work as Eagles coach on Wednesday should
he agree on a new contract.
Keshi’s
initial three-year deal ended after he guided Nigeria to the Round of 16
at last year’s World Cup in Brazil and he has since been working
without a contract, africanFootball.com reports.
Pinnick said a new contract would be sent to Keshi on Tuesday.
“We
have concluded on the contract of Keshi. It should get to him by
Tuesday (today) and if he is fine with it, he would begin work as early
as Wednesday,” declared Pinnick.
“We
have taken this long because we do not want litigation. We had to look
at everything that would protect him and protect the federation and
would also be good for Nigeria.”
On whether the NFF would fold its hands and watch Keshi head to Burkina Faso, Pinnick said, “He is a man that has a choice.
“It
would be up to him to choose. If what Burkina Faso would offer him is
better that what we are offering you don’t expect him to stay, but that
would be unfortunate.”
Meanwhile, the board of the NFF will meet next week Tuesday in Abuja.
