Nigeria coach Stephen Keshi is adamant that he is the right man to lead the Super Eagles into the future.
Disaster struck last week for Nigeria when they failed to qualify for Africa Cup of Nations, a tournament they won in its most recent edition, 2013.
Keshi, who was relieved of his duties before being recalled for Nigeria’s last two qualifying matches, does not feel that firing him again would be the way to go.
“If a team fails, sacking the coach won’t solve the problem. The authority should look beyond the coach to find solutions to the problem.
“I can’t deny it is a shame that we failed to qualify. On my part, I failed the nation but my players took South Africa for granted, a match they needed to win,” Keshi said.
Keshi’s agent, Emma Addo, also feels that the former Super Eagles AFCON winning captain is not to blame for the team’s current failure.
“No explanation will be acceptable now by Nigerians, but Super Eagles problems go beyond coaching. If some issues are not resolved, no one can succeed for long with the team,” Addo told the sl10.ng website.
“We shouldn’t forget where Keshi picked this team from in 2012, almost same place like they are now, but nobody cared about how they got there, that is why it happened again,” Adoo added. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

ReplyDeleteThis Keshi man no get shame. He is just an arrogant dude. Boasting about countries willing to snatch him since 2 years ago without any forthcoming. Even if you get another job somewhere else, I assure you won't stay up to a year before you get fired because of your incompetence. We've got lots of talent here in Naija than any other country in Africa. You were just successful because of our talent, still you are being boastful. We don't need you anymore.
