Former Super Eagles coach, Christian Chukwu has urged the Nigeria Football Federation to come out boldly and dispense with out-of-contract Super Eagles coach, Stephen Keshi since it was clear the body has lost interest and confidence with the embattled coach.
In a chat with sl10.ng, Chukwu said:“The NFF should look for a coach they have confidence in, because I don’t think they have confidence in Keshi.
“Their body language has shown that they don’t have any confidence in Keshi, so they should come out boldly and go for a coach they have confidence in”.
Recall that Keshi has been out of contract since Nigeria’s exit from the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. He took charge of Nigeria’s ill-fated 2015 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers on an interim capacity.
Worried about the delay to straighten out the leadership and management of the Super Eagles, Chukwu said:“It is very worrisome that nothing has been done about the situation because it is very obvious the NFF don’t want Keshi, so they should get someone they trust quickly before it gets too late.
“I believe they are under pressure to retain Keshi but they should come out and tell the people putting them under pressure why they don’t want him. The qualifiers for the next Africa Cup of Nations is starting very soon and we still do not have a coach, so it is a problem”
