Austin Eguavoen, Former Coach of the Super Eagles of Nigeria has added his voice into the ongoing debate whether the Nigeria Football Federation should retain the services of Stephen Keshi as head coach of the senior national team.
The 48-year-old was speaking to a Lagos State based radio station, Brilafm on Wednesday, when he reckoned that the Big Boss has done well since he took charge of the Super Eagles – winning the African Nations Cup and making the round of 16 at the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil after failing to achieve such feat since 1998.
The current technical adviser of Gombe United says that if Keshi is eventually retained as the gaffer of the national team- he must develop himself by associating with top FA’s like the Dutch and Brazilian Federations.
“I am not saying because Stephen Keshi is my friend then he deserves to stay- look at his records, he has done well. He can only improve.
“Jose Mourinho and other big coaches around the world do not sleep, so my only advice to Keshi, will be to try and associate with these top coaches.
“He should go to football federations like the Dutch FA, Brazilian FA and ask questions because nobody knows it all. He still has a lot to improve on and he can take it up from there,” he submitted.
Stephen Keshi is currently negotiating a new deal with the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) after his contract expired after the World Cup.
