Chairman Gren expressed his sattisfaction with Keshi's work and assured that all the insinuations suggesting that he might be sacked ahead of the World Cup are false.
Keshi has qualified us for the World Cup and that simply means Keshi would take us to the World Cup. We are satisfied with the jobs and results Keshi has produced. And for those insinuating for a foreign technical adviser or whatever they call it, it would not affect coach Stephen Keshi because he remains our head coach and he will lead the team to the World Cup.” - stated Green quoted by mtnfootball.com.
Earlier Keshi himself assured that he is not worried about losing his job, because it is the essence of working in the football world, especially in Nigeria. Big Boss already knows the feeling of being fired ahead of the World Cup. In 2002 he was assistant to coach Amodu. Both were fired before tournament in Japan and Korea, despite successful qualification.
„This job is all about hiring and firing. When I was sacked in 2002 it came as a terrible shock but that is life, we all moved on because you can’t keep living in anger and disappointment. We are talking about Nigeria here, so you never know what may happen. But what is important right now is that we are only focusing on what lies ahead which is preparing my players and nothing else.” - said Keshi for BBC Sport.
Hopefully now that everything is clear Super Eagles will be able to fully focus on World Cup preparations.
