‘Sack Keshi now’

These are certainly not the best of times for Super Eagles

coach, Stephen Okechukwu Keshi. Only yesterday, the

coach was queried by his employers the NFF for not only

inviting a rookie, Gabriel Okechukwu from an unknown

Abuja based club to the Super Eagles but for also handing

him a starting shirt in the Eagles line up against Chad.

Keshi aggravated his offence by handing the non-leaguer

the revered number 10 jersey. It did not matter whether the

player was confined to the bench throughout the match. The

NFF frowned at his being in the squad.

As if that was

not enough

trouble for the

coach, a

former

Director of

Sports in

Katsina State,

Alhaji Aliyu

Muhammad

Kofar Soro

has called on

the Nigeria

Football

Federation

(NFF), as a

matter of

urgency, to

sack the

coach in

order to avoid

disgrace of

not qualifying

for the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations in Gabon.

Alhaji Aliyu Muhammad Kofar Soro made the call shortly

after Nigeria’s Super Eagles laboured to a 2-0 win over

lowly rated Chad in Kaduna.

The former director explained that Coach Stephen Keshi

does not have the ability to lead the country to Gabon 2017.

According to him, some invited players had no business

being in the team and stressed the need to hire a foreign

expert to handle the team for better results.

The former director said that if the NFF fail to sack coach

Keshi, they may eventually risk in running the worst football

administration in the country.

Alhaji Muhammad Kofar Soro however, called on the NFF to

caution the Manau Garba led Flying Eagles to improve on

their performance in future competitions or replace them

with a sound technical crew.
