According to reports, Stephen Keshi may not return as Head coach of the Super Eagles of Nigeria. The reason however isn’t far-fetched, the NFF is yet to agree with his new contract and salary demands.

The former Super Eagles player whose contract ended on June 30 told BBC Sport, “Talks over a new contract shouldn’t drag on. I can’t wait any more – the NFF is not serious. I have moved on. I can only wish the country well for the future. I’ve had about seven countries approach me in the last two months but I kept them all away.”

“There’s a game in two weeks [Nations Cup qualifier against Congo] but no-one is thinking about it and at the same time they expect you to win. I understand the ongoing crisis facing the federation but the national team should not suffer from such at this crucial stage. Sadly, I also think attention is focused more on the upcoming NFF elections and the national team is simply not a priority.”

He also talked about offers from other countries.

“I’ve had about seven countries approach me in the last two months but I kept them all away. I love my country and I am aware of the dream our fans had of me taking this team to the next level. While acknowledging the efforts of some people involved in the negotiation, I think others probably have other important things to do.”
