The Big Boss To Return As Super Eagles’ Head Coach

Stephen Keshi, is set to return as
Head Coach of the Super Eagles.
Keshi is expected to sign a two-year
contract extension with the Nigeria
Football Association (NFA) on April
17.
The contract when signed, will see
Keshi return as Super Eagles handler
after his initial contract with the
NFA expired after the 2014 FIFA
World Cup in Brazil.
Mohammed Sanusi, the Secretary-
General of the NFA, told newsmen
in Abuja on Tuesday that the
contract which would be signed on
Friday, would see the coach put pen
to paper on his new job.
“By the grace of God on Friday the
Super Eagles team will have a coach.
Nigerians have been very patient with
this issue, so, it’s just only two days
remaining for the coach to sign a
contract. We cannot announce a
coach without signing a contract,’’
Sanusi said.
The NFA scribe also said that efforts
were being intensified to sign a new
kit sponsorship deal to boost the
signing of a coaching deal for the
Super Eagles.
“We are working assiduously to
ensure we get a kit company that
will sponsor our teams. It is not good
to disclose the level of discussion
with the would-be companies until
the deal is finally struck,’’ he added.
Sanusi also commended the
countries male and female football
teams for qualifying for the 2015 All
Africa Games scheduled for Congo
Brazzaville from Sept. 4 to Sept. 19.
He said: “We are going to
collaborate with the National Sports
Commission (NSC) to ensure we give
the teams quality preparations ahead
of the Games. We were not there at
the last All Africa Games; we were
not there at the London 2012
Olympics too but this time that we
have qualified we must go and make
an impact. The Super Falcons who
have qualified for the World Cup will
also get the full support of the NFA
and NSC, especially in terms of
quality friendly matches.
