REVEALED - Keshi: I'm Tired Of Waiting For The NFF

Nigeria coach Stephen Keshi may have said his farewell to the Super Eagles after he said he was tired of waiting for a new contract from the Nigeria Football Federation.

The representatives of the former Hawks of Togo coach have been locked in talks with the Nigeria football federation in a bid to agree terms for a new contract, but with anything yet to come out of the contract talks, Keshi may have decided to call it quits with the negotiations.

“I wish the team well because I cannot keep waiting for the NFF to offer me a new contract. My career has got to move forward.

“I have missed out on several offers with some national teams and now I cannot keep waiting,” Keshi said.

The negotiations between Keshi and the NFF have been protracted and have dragged on for weeks, with Keshi refusing the N5m monthly salary on offer by the Glass House. The former Super Eagles captain also says he cannot on the same terms as his previous contract.

“I cannot continue on the same terms as I did for over two years for the next four years. And if they (NFF) have offered me the same terms, it’s just them telling me they don’t want me again, it’s as simple as that,” Keshi added.

Meanwhile, the NFF have disclosed that Keshi have demanded a N15m monthly salary, but they are insisting on the N5m monthly salary offered.

“Keshi and his representatives have demanded for a N15m monthly salary but we are standing on the N5m offered. Discussions are still ongoing between the NFF and his team,” Emeka Inyama, an executive of the Nigeria Football Federation told Brila FM.
