Stephen Keshi
Stephen Keshi has been sacked as Nigeria coach, with Amodu Shuaibu to lead a consortium of coaches for the final two games of the 2015 African Nations Cup qualifier.
An
expatriate coach will thereafter be appointed to take charge of the squad.
According
to veteran Sports Journalist, Colin Udo The decision was among others announced
by the NFF Executive Committee after a meeting in Abuja on Wednesday night 'in
the interest of Nigerian football and the desire to ensure qualification for
the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations finals'.
Keshi's
two-year contract with the NFF lapsed in June, and the former national team
captain has been working in a caretaker capacity since then.
But
after a disastrous qualifying campaign in which the Super Eagles only picked up
one point from their opening three games, there were widespread calls for him
to be let go.
In a related development,
Samson
Siasia has been named Nigeria Under 23 coach.
The
former international, who last coached the Super Eagles before he was replaced
by Stephen Keshi, will be assisted by Farayi Amoo.
