Keshi: NFF Think They Are Doing Me A Favour


Out-of-contract Super Eagles coach Stephen Keshi has once again blasted the Nigeria Football Federation, accusing them of thinking they are doing him a favour.


There has been a stand-off between the NFF and Keshi over offering the 53-year-old a new contract, with Keshi recently denying he has been offered any contract by the Glass House.

But as revealed by sl10.ng last week, the NFF have prepared a contract proposal for Keshi, but the former Togo coach has hit out at the NFF, saying the Glass House have been acting like they are doing him and other Nigerian coaches a favor by giving them national team jobs.

“What Nigerian coaches don’t realize is that the NFF thinks they are doing us a favour by giving us national team jobs,” he told Hot FM.

“Until Nigerian coaches will understand it is their right and it is their job, so they should think and act like professional coaches and deal with it. Not when somebody is just pushing you around, which is not right?”

The former Nigeria captain is presently in the country, which has further fuelled speculations he could have been waiting to sign the dotted lines, but he has rubbished such speculations, insisting that he is not waiting on the NFF for a job.

“I just want them to know that I am not waiting, I’m a Nigerian and this is my country. It is not like if I am in Nigeria then it means I am waiting for Nigeria to offer me a job, no.

“I am a Nigerian and I am entitled to be here and I can leave and come anytime I want. So they should not have it in mind that I am waiting for Nigeria to give me a job, they should take it out of their minds.”
