The reinstituted Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) board led by Chris Giwa has reinstated Stephen Keshi as the Chief Coach of the Super Eagles.
“The NFF board reviewed and feels so strongly to sustain the out-of-contract assignment given to the technical crew of the Super Eagles led by Stephen Keshi at a very critical moment like this. Nigerians want the national team to play well, win and a pride to them” a part of the communiqué reached at the executive committee read.
Stephen Keshi was sacked last week by the Amaju Pinnick led NFF board, who were also sacked from office by a court ruling on Thursday.
Keshi’s contract expired after the 2014 World Cup in Brazil and he has been working on a match-by-match deal, before he was eventually dismissed after the Eagles beat Sudan 3-1 in Abuja.
