NFF Renews Keshi’s
Contract On Friday
Stephen
Keshi, the out-of-job Super Eagles Head Coach, is expected to sign a two-year
contract extension with the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) on April 17.
The contract, when signed, will see Keshi return as Super Eagles
handler after his initial contract with the NFF expired after the 2014 FIFA
World Cup in Brazil in 2014.
Mohammed
Sanusi, the Secretary-General of the NFF, told newsmen in Abuja on Tuesday that
the contract, which would be signed on Friday, would see the coach put pen to
paper on his new job.
“By the
grace of God on Friday, the Super Eagles will have a coach. Nigerians have been
very patient on this issue, so, it’s just only two days remaining for the coach
to sign a contract.
“We
cannot announce a coach without signing a contract,” Sanusi said.
The NFF
scribe added that efforts were being intensified to sign a new kit sponsorship
deal to boost the signing of a coaching deal for the Super Eagles.
“We are
working assiduously to ensure we get a kit company that will sponsor our teams.
It is not good to disclose the level of discussion with the would-be companies
until the deal is finally sealed,” he added.
Saunsi,
however, commended the country’s male and female football teams for qualifying
for the 2015 All Africa Games scheduled for Congo Brazzaville from September 4
to 19.
