Keshi Quiting Super Eagles?

Is Stephen Keshi turning his back on the Super Eagles after Sundays triumph?

Keshi dodged question about his future from a scrum of Nigerian journalist in the post-match mix zone at Soccer City after guiding Nigeria to its third Africa Cup title.

“You people don’t want me in Nigeria why are you asking me that (question),” Keshi said with a sly smile as me made his way to the team bus where his victorious team was waiting.

Many sceptics didn’t give Nigeria a chance including Zambia coach Herve Renardwho is on record as having said this was the worst Super Eagles to have graced the Africa cup.

Meanwhile, before that at the official press briefing, Keshi said that young team was still a work in progress.

“It is going to be an honour representing Africa at the Confederations Cup as to how far we will go there we cannot tell but I am very proud of my team for being African champions,” Keshi said.

“I am happy about today I hope it continues.”

Nigeria are in Group B at the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup together with Oceania champions Tahiti, South American winners Uruguay and World and European champions Spain.

  1. Any person remotely interested in this needs their head examined

    Good riddance of a mediocre tournament, with mediocre people and mediocre fans

    Thank goodness its over.

    Thanks

  2. soccer used to be a good sport but not anymore- too many politics and failures have joined it!. I don’t think any reasonable mind should be following it religiously!.

  3. It will be a mistake to appoint Stephen Keshi as Chipolopolo coach!! We do have local coaches who can take over from Herve Renahrd, if we need to. Stephen will struggle to bond with the players and even to identify new talent in time for the World Cup qualifiers!!

    We do have talent within the country, Patrick Phiri for example. Besides, Stephen Keshis loyalties will be divided in an event we meet Nigeria at any tournament!!!

  4. Technically, physically, socially, psychologically beaten Zambia.

    Using past glory to play current matches was foolish.

    Using old tactics on ever changing opponents was dumb.

    One size does not fit all.

    Fire the technical team. Keep the coach. If he fails again, burn notice!

  5. How I wish Renard could do the same after a pathetic and embarrassing performance at afcon 2013.

  6. I wonder why my fellow bloggers you really waste a lot of time responding a one Ms Mushota female or male don’t wish to know, please find something to respond to and not that Crap of Mushota i beg

  7. I SKIP anything written mushota am busy and only blog to add my valuable contribution to good governance.Thanx 13

  8. One of the biggest mistakes people make when buying blood pressure monitors is buying the wrong instrument. That’s why a lot of people get frustrated and annoyed in just a matter of weeks of use.
