Keshi Signs Two-Year Extension As Super Eagles Coach

Stephen Keshi on Tuesday, 21st April, agreed to a new two-year contract to coach Nigeria's Super Eagles, ending months of uncertainty and speculation over his future.

Talks on a renewal was stalled in February when Keshi described Nigeria's extension offer as a "slave contract".

But the 53-year-old called for a fresh start Today at an official signing ceremony, saying any lingering bitterness needed to be put in the past.


"This is the time for us to come together to fight for this nation, I am begging you all to please put the past behind and let's start afresh." Keshi said.

Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) technical committee chairman Felix Anyansi-Agwu also described Keshi's second stint as coach as "a new beginning".

"The entire (NFF) board has absolute confidence in the capacity of Stephen Keshi to take the Super Eagles to new heights," he told reporters.
