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.
