Stephen Keshi reconsiders Resignation from Super Eagles Coach

It’s been a few hours since Stephen Keshi‘s surprising resignation as the head coach of the Super Eagles. He is currently reconsidering his decision and has released the following statement.

My attention has been drawn to reports in the media that I have resigned my appointment as the Head Coach of Super Eagles of Nigeria.

While I have had cause to express my displeasure over some issues that happened in the course of our participation in the AFCON 2013, which my team won by the grace of God, especially concerning my relationship with the Nigerian Football Federation, I have since had opportunity to discuss the various issues with all concerned. I am therefore pleased to say that I have reconsidered my position and have decided to continue with my job.

I want to thank the Honourable Minister of Sports, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, for his swift and kind intervention.

Signed

Stephen Okechukwu Keshi

Nigeria coach Keshi resigns one day after winning 2013 Afcon title

The Super Eagles coach has submitted his resignation to the Nigerian Football Federation, after a dramatic falling out with the governing body 24 hours after picking up the trophy
Nigeria coach Stephen Keshi has resigned as boss of the Super Eagles just a day after winning the 2013 African Cup of Nations.

Keshi confirmed few days before the final that he would "pack his bags and leave" if he felt he was not wanted, but following the 1-0 win against Burkina Faso in the Afcon final, the coach was highly praised from all quarters.

However, after a dramatic falling out with the Nigerian Football Federation, Keshi has tendered his resignation.

His resignation letter still has to be discussed by the NFF, but the coach says he is unlikely to change his mind because he believes that NFF did not trust and respect his tactics as a coach.
