We reported this morning, that
Stephen Keshi had withdrawn his
resignation as
coach
of the Super Eagles, after a meeting with Sports Minister, Boloaji
Abdullahi. The 51-year-old has now released a statement which confirms
his decision to continue in his role.
His statement below:
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 Kesh
