Coach Stephen Keshi Is DEAD!!! by konklud22(m): 11:29am On Jun 08, 2016 |
One of African football's best-known figures,
Stephen Keshi, has died at the age of 54, the
Nigeria Football Federation has said.
A former captain of the Nigeria national team,
Keshi was one of only two men to win the Africa
Cup of Nations both as a player and a coach.
He also managed Togo and Mali, and his playing
career included a spell for Belgian club side
Anderlecht.
He is thought to have suffered a heart attack,
local media reported.
As a player, Keshi was part of the Super Eagles
team that won the Nations Cup in 1994 and
narrowly missed out on a World Cup quarter-final
place the same year.
He coached the national side over three spells,
leading Nigeria to the 2013 Nations Cup title in
South Africa and the last 16 at the 2014 World
Cup in Brazil.
His contract was not renewed after the World
Cup but he later returned on a match-by-match
deal following the team's failure to reach the
2015 Nations Cup finals.
He was then sacked as caretaker coach but
reinstated after intervention from then Nigeria
president Goodluck Jonathan. He was sacked for
a final time last July. |
