Stephen Keshi: “I don’t want Super Eagles job”

Coach Stephen Keshi has dismissed reports that he is interested in returning as Super Eagles head coach. He also blasted the NFF liars for deceiving Nigerians. Keshi told Punch newspaper that, “Nigerians have been deceived; I never applied for the Super Eagles coaching job as the NFF have lied to Nigerians. I didn’t receive any contract terms, nor did my agent. I only see all these things on the pages of newspapers, but I decided to keep quiet. The NFF has succeeded in deceiving journalists in Nigeria.
“In one of the early interviews Pinnick had after he became NFF president, he made it clear that Keshi would not be coaching the team, so how come he is turning around to say he is offering me a new contract, and that I’m the one stalling. I’ve told them I don’t want the job. I’m tired of coaching and being surrounded by people who don’t want me in the job. Pinnick told everyone that the NFF had paid us (the coaches) our entitlements, but he was lying. They still owe us two months salaries and the winning bonus from the last Sudan game which we won.
“They’re saying these things because they want Nigerians to see me as a bad person. I’ve been very patient and quiet but they kept lying about a contract. It was a privilege to be considered in the first place. Someone has to get the job and they can’t appoint everyone that applied. I’m not really bothered, such things happen. I’m going to consider other options I have and move on.”
