Indication are that one of the duo of former Super Eagles coach, Shuaibu Amodu and ex-captain Sunday Oliseh may be the successor to Stephen Keshi.
Keshi, whose contract as Nigeria coach lapsed with the country’s elimination from the World Cup, has not been offered a new deal and is not likely to get a contract renewal, despite reports to the contrary.
Indications are that Amodu, who has had three spells as Super Eagles coach, is expected to be put in temporary charge while the Nigeria Football Federation shop for a replacement.
The first name being considered is Oliseh. Despite his limited experience, NFF chiefs have been impressed with his knowledge of the game and his name came up for discussion immediately news of Keshi’s resignation became public.
Top NFF officials however told KickOffNigeria.com that nothing had been decided yet, and the Federation will take it’s time in picking a suitable replacement.
What is certain however is that the relationship between Keshi and the NFF is fractured almost beyond repair.
The last straw was the coach’s announcement of his resignation without first informing the NFF.
