Amodu bombs Keshi again

        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.
