The Nigerian Football Federation has sacked Stephen Keshi as the Head
Coach of the Super Eagles of Nigeria. The
termination of his appointment is contained in a statement released by
NFF Executive Committee today Saturday July 4th. The statement in part
reads;
"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.”
The Super Eagles’ team will now be jointly managed by Assistant
Coach, Salisu Yusuf and the Technical Directorate of the NFF headed by
Coach Shuaibu Amodu, until a substantive head coach is named by the Federation.
