The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) in the early hours of Thursday have announced the contract termination of Coach Stephen Keshi as the Super Eagles head coach.

After a long hours meeting of the Executive board members held at the Transcrop hilton hotel in Abuja the board unanimously agreed to part away with the Big Boss and his technical crew.

Speaking with cross section of the press shortly after the meeting at 1am Nigeria time on Thursday, first vice President of the Federation, Barr. Seyi Akinwunmi said the Federation appreciated Keshi and will give due support to him and his technical crew.
“You could recall Keshi and his technical crew
contract expired after the World cup, and the federation have decided not to renew their contract,” Akinwunmi revealed.

“The Federation appreciated his effort for the success he achieved and the development of our football.
“We have decided to sponsor him and his technical crew (Daniel Amokachi and Ike Shoromu) to any choice of their coaching school to acquire for more knowledge in the game at our expenses,” Akinwunmi said.

Former Niger Tornadoes player, Shaibu Amodu returns as the team interim coach to be assisted with three coaches from the Glo Premier League.
“We have two more important matches in the
qualifiers which we hope to secure full points, and qualify for the Nations Cup.

“Coach Amodu will take over of the team as interim coach, to be assisted by Salisu Yusuf (El Kanemi Warriors) and Gbenga Ogunbote (Sharks FC) while former Green Eagles goalkeeper, Alloy Agu will be the goalkeeper trainer,” the NFF official divulge.

Super Eagles will travel next month to face
Congo and host South Africa in Nigeria in the last phase of the qualifiers.

Keshi should go abeg...let's see what's Amodu is capable of doing to our fallen super eagles

Nigerians you ask for it, now you get.

Good for him.

PRAISE GOD!!!!!!

Back to square zero. I am never a fan of hiring and firing of coaches every here and then. In 2011 October precisely, i kicked against the sacking of Samson Siasia but Nigerians insisted that he must go, cursing and calling him all manners of names; but i stood by him until Keshi came on board to change the Fortune of the team.
Today, the same people calling Siasia names are the people insulting the Big Boss. Some people even go as far as cursing his family!.....
I am happy today that I still stood by Keshi despite all the cricism. I am his fan and I will continue to be his fan until the next coach achieved beyond what Keshi did. For now i will hang my boots and watch as the drama unfolds.

Amodu Again I'm beginning to think coaching Eagles is his inheritance. Keshi's ego and his tactical ineptitude cost him.

Isn't amodu as useless as keshi?

Why not bring in a better interim coach, why Amodu of all people??

[size=18pt]Same Amodu that they sacked years ago? Back to the rejected Corner stone. Keshi, I know you are surely coming back as it happened to Amodu[/size] best of luck, you tried then and I know you can do better now.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good riddance to spoilt rubbish!
#kechi just fall him hand!

Absolute balderdash.. This clueless power hungry mofos at the NFF have ruined our chances of qualifying for Morroco 2015...if we still had any...What's the point sacking keshi now? Now the new coach has a good excuse for failing at his new job, which he will obviously do.. Abi no be Amodu
Did I just heard the word' Foreign coach' .. Arr these nuggars in NFF nut or what? What has a foreign coach achieved for the super eagles in the last 15 years? Its just an attempt to chop money as usual again.. Awon olote....
Lets see how a white coach who can't even lead a division 3 club in his native land will perform magic on the super eagles in an unfamiliar terrain

I knew it will come to this http://.in/2014/10/stephen-keshi-sacked-amodu-takes-over.html

WTF A GOOD MOVE BY SACKING KESHI BUT WTF IS AMODU SHUAIBU

i never like that egocentric keshi for once but why Amodu? I think NFF is cursed or hell bent on destroying nigeria football


NFF one step forward (Sacking keshi) then 10 steps backward (Appointing amodu)

Amodu Shaibu? Keshi is better than him a million times, abba from burning fire to burnt flame!

Hahahahahahahaha i said it! Dis amaju picknic/shitnick guy no get sense. Amodu?!?! Hahahahahaha. So dis is d one dat ike uche will respect? Lol
StealthyMe is dis news true?? Abeg bros talk to me

YAKUBU AIYEGBENI.

Amodu again!

Kwa,Keshi is a better man.

Amodu again!

Amodu is an expert in qualifications and has done so twice.

why amodu? this is like selling your dog and replacing it with monkey.

Hallelujah. I love this news. Atleast he will bring back Martins, the Uches possibly Iheanacho and Taiwo.

ingrates

he's just there for now, he's far better than keshi. we won our last match because of our players extra effort and not because of our coach tactics. keshi had to go even if they didn't have a replacement, he has nothing left to offer

It does necessary mean amodu shld be better than keshi b4 he can outperform keshi
Abi nna never see a situation where assistant coach dey take over frm d head coach and do better than d so call head coach?

,
Good riddance to bad rubbish or is it proud arrogant rubbish?.

Chisos. My dream actually came true. Saw him sacked in my sleep. Dancing skelewu

He had it coming! Tactical cluelessness that rivals that of one Mr Jonathan

The topic is confusing though .

Smh from frying pan to fire.
