Only a day after winning the Africa Nations cup, coach Stephen Okechukwu Keshi has resigned as the coach of the Super Eagles.
The super coach handed over his resignation letter to the Nigerian Football Federation after a dramatic falling out with the Federation. He said something about not being given a free hand by the minister, but there is word that the Presidency is interfering in the matter.
An official said, “Yes, it is very true that Keshi resigned his position as coach of the Eagles. That he confirmed to us. It was quite alarming given the complaints he brought up. There were a lot on things going on that the nation didn’t know.
“He informed us about backlog of salaries, his official car that has only been on paper since he took office. Even in South Africa, money was a lot of issue. It is appalling but the key thing is that Keshi has calmed down and has agreed to continue as the coach of Nigeria.”
Apart from his car and salary, we learnt that the Eagles coach complained bitterly of not getting the cash due him in South Africa during the Nations Cup. He also complained that his players were being owed a lot of money as the promises were more on the pages of the newspapers than being fulfilled.
