Coaches
have started making their move to take the position of Keshi after France
kicked Nigeria out of the Brazil World Cup.
But
Keshi had delivered a farewell speech to his players at the dressing room in
Brasilia after they were bundled out 2-0 by France to signal the rush for
applications by many coaches who admire the glut of talents that abound in the
Super Eagles.
An
official of the NFF who pleaded anonymity confirmed that they have been
besieged by many interests from foreigners but said that it was too early for
them to disclose the identities of such coaches since Keshi had not tendered
his resignation letter to the body.
‘’Everything
we have heard about his resignation is from the press. He has not informed us
formally and as such, we still consider him as our coach.
Many
coaches have expressed their interests in the job but we need to meet and
review our performance in the World Cup and sundry issues. If he insists on
resigning, definitely, his position will be taken over by someone else.
But for now, he is still our coach”, one of the influential officials of the
football house told Sports Vanguard here in Brazil.
Keshi
yet again gave a hint that he was done with the Eagles job in an interview he
granted TheCable and was asked if he has resigned; ‘’ Yes. I have done my bit.
I am tired of all the intrigues and backbiting and insinuations I get”.
When
asked if President Goodluck Jonathan intervenes and sort things out like
he did after the Africa Cup of Nations, Keshi said: ‘’As much as I respect and
appreciate the number one citizen of the country I am afraid that this time it
is going to be difficult. I am totally done with some of these people”.
