I Want Nigeria Back – Keshi

In a recent interview with africanFootbal, Coach Stephen Keshi has finally told the world that he would love to continue his job as Super Eagles' coach.

The coach, popularly known as Big Boss, told the press that he met Deji Tinubu in Lagos before heading out for America to see his family.

He said: “It’s my country, I am ready to serve. I have started something I would love to finish.

“But I cannot work the way I worked last time. It’s not possible! All my staff, no!no!!no!! We have to be professional, everybody has to do what they are supposed to do,” he stated.

“I cannot be paying another staff salary, when I am not the Nigeria Football Federation. We will see how it goes. If the conditions are met, we will be there, no wahala.”

However, the NFF have told the media that it will soon send a new contract to the coach, they said: “We have made tremendous progress.

“We will first send a letter of our intent for a renewal of his contract and expect a reply from him as quickly as possible.

“This would allow us to start working on the terms of contract. We would have our terms and we know he would have his terms. But we would be working in such a way that we would arrive at an agreeable term that would suit both parties and then hopefully he signs.

“We can’t put a time limit on this, but we hope we are done with it as quick as possible considering that we have a game in September,” Tinubu stated.

Keshi has been for some time involved in NFF crisis, after he came out and accused the NFF of being unprofessional and saying he does not think he could work in the horrid conditions he was given.

But after Maigari's sack, the NFF and Keshi have changed tone and seem to be in a haste to sign on the dotted lines.
