Former Super Eagles manager, Shuaib Amodu has declared that there is
nothing wrong with the fresh contract which the nation’s soccer
governing body, NFF, is offering Stephen Keshi.
Amodu who is NFF’s technical director said early this week in an
interview he granted Sportsville Television crew, before jetting out to
London for the capacity building course put together by the NFF for
some Nigerian coaches and ex internationals that what is being offered
Keshi is a good deal.
He insisted that the clauses which Keshi wascomplaining about were
ones that should make the coach deliver, even as he added that rather
than go to the press, Keshi should have drawn the attention of his
employers to whatever problems he has with the offer.
Amodu stated that he was ready to help Keshi or whoever is hired as
new Eagles manager to succeed, pointing out that as NFF’s technical
director his primary responsibility is to ensure that coaches of all
the national teams deliver.
He was quick to add that he was not in anyway eyeing the Eagles job,
declaring that he cant go back to take up an assignment he handled
over a decade ago.
It was recalled that Keshi worked as Amodu’s assistant at Mali 2002
Nations Cup, where the Eagles won bronze. Amodu had after Nigeria’s
failure to qualify for the 2015 Nations Cup in Equatorial Guinea
berated Keshi for opting not to throw in the towel. Amodu while faulting
Keshi’s continued romance with the Eagles said Keshi should have taken
a walk after failing to get Nigeria to be in the African soccer
showpiece where the Eagles would have defended the trophy won in 2013 in
South Africa.
