NFF's Hammer Lands on Keshi Again

The Nigerian Football Federation has wielded its big hammer again and they have sacked the present manager of the senior national team. This may not be unconnected to the fact that after the board summoned Keshi to appear before its disciplinary committee over his name being initially shortlisted for the Ivory coast's coaching job and the recent performance of the eagles at Kaduna for the first leg of AFCON qualifiers which was not so impressive. the decision was taken after the Executives met. this was what was contained in the message...

"Having thoroughly reviewed the reports/findings of the NFF Disciplinary Committee and NFF Technical and Development Committee, as well as having reviewed the actions and inactions of Mr. Stephen Keshi, in the performance of his duties as Super Eagles’ Head Coach. Keshi was found to lack the required commitment to achieve the Federation’s objectives as set out in the Coach’s employment contract. To this end and pursuant to the provisions of Clause 4.3 of the Employment Contract between Mr. Stephen Keshi and the NFF (The Contract) and the various clauses therein, the Nigeria Football Federation has decided to exercise its option to summarily terminate the employment contract of Mr. Stephen Keshi with the Federation with immediate effect.”
