News has
it that some officials of NFF(Nigeria Football Federation) wants to force an
assistant on Super Eagles coach, coach Stephen Keshi.
But Keshi
rejected it and insist nobody will choose his assistant but himself when the
time comes.
His manager
, who is also his brother, Emmanuel Addo, Keshi said that he was only
consulting with the NFF President, Amaju Pinnick and Chairman of the Technical
Committee, Felix Anyansi-Agwu on how best to achieve the aim of making the
Eagles super again and how to correct the wrongs of the past, which saw him
running into troubled waters with some of his policies and tactics on the field
of play.
“On the
issue of assistant coaches for the Super Eagles, Keshi wants to make it clear
that he is the one who will decide who his assistant coaches will be. Because
it is a fresh start and he wants to do things differently, he is consulting
with the NFF President and the Chairman of the Technical Committee,
Anyansi-Agwu and even members of the Sports Writers Association of Nigeria.
“Keshi is
asking questions from all stakeholders because he wants to make the team great
again. It is not the NFF that will decide who his assistant coaches will be
because they are under him and are going to work with him and nobody will force
anybody on him”, said Keshi’s manager.
On the
factors that will determine his choice, Addo said “Keshi said he wants
assistant coaches who will tell him the truth and not play eye service and
coaches who will work in harmony with him”.
Keshi
will name his assistants before the 2017 AFCON qualifying match with Chad.
