Super Eagles Head Coach, Stephen Keshi, today, resigned his appointment as the national team coach, blaming official apathy for his decision. Keshi led Nigeria to a 0-2 defeat by France in the second round of the on-going Brazil 2014 World Cup. The defeat in Brasila signalled the end of Nigeria’s campaign in the competition.
Speaking shortly after the game, Keshi said it was time for him to quit the job he began in 2011, saying he would go back to the United States (US) to be with his family, as well as reflect on his future.
He alleged that the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) had not spoken to him about renewing his contract, adding that he was tired of waiting for official contact on his job.
Reacting to the Eagles defeat by France Monday, Keshi said Nigeria would have recorded a better result than the 0-2 loss if the match officials had been fair to his team.
France defeated Nigeria 2-0 with two second half goals by Paul Pogba and Joseph Yobo (an own goal).
