After nearly one year of speculations, Stephen Keshi has been given the Super Eagles coaching job for the next two years. Keshi signed a two-year contract on Tuesday and was unveiled at a ceremony at the National Stadium in Abuja.
The 53-year-old’s contract ran out after the Brazil 2014 FIFA World Cup, where Nigeria crashed to a 2-0 loss to France in the round-of-32. He was sacked when the Eagles failed to qualify for the 2015 African Cup of Nations (AFCON). But the sack was subsequently reversed due to pressure from government quarters.
His new contract lasts till 2017 and would be reviewed after the 2015 AFCON, whose qualifiers begin very soon.
