The Minister of Sports, Tamuno Danagogo, has moved to
clarify the position of things with regards to the purported resignation of
Super Eagles coach Stephen Keshi.
In a statement signed by the minister’s Special Assistant
on Media, Patrick Omorodion in Abuja, the Minister said, “It is not true that
Keshi has resigned. He told me that he never said so, that his contract only
expired. I expect the NFF to the needful.”
The Minister also called on both Keshi and the NFF to
treat each other with respect by engaging themselves in deliberations before
taking the matter to the press.
Keshi yesterday denied reports of his resignation,
stating that his speech to his players after the 2-0 loss against France may
have been misunderstood.
The Super Eagles coach however revealed that his current
contract is set to run out, the NFF have not made any moves to extend his
tenure with the reigning African champions.
