Keshi Will Only Be Appointed On A Short Term - Seyi Akinwunmi

The vice President of the Nigerian Football Federation, Barrister Seyi Akinwumi has revealed that the football body have a plan to reappoint Stephen Keshi but only on a short term basis but they have a long term plan for the Super Eagles.

Akinwunmi said that Keshi has proven that he's capable of handling the nation's national team but that he cannot be there for long.

"The issue really is that Stephen Keshi as a Coach is a short-term discussion, this means he can’t be there for a lengthy period, so we need to look at the issue of appointing a Nigerian Coach in the long-term, how does it affect the whole growth.

"So I don’t think we should isolate the issue of Keshi to just the appointment as Coach of the Super Eagles like it was a quick fix."

The Man has shown us that he’s able to do it and the Technical Committee has said that he’s able to do it, but what we really need to look at is that in the long-term what do we do? In the next couple of weeks am sure that we’ll find if he’s signed or not signed,” the Football Chief told footballlive
