NFL.keshi to tie league next week

The Nigeria Football Federation has moved to
conclude an agreement with Nigeria coach Stephen
Keshi for his contract renewal as the Super Eagles
manager. Going by the decision of the NFF
Executive Committee on Thursday in Abuja, Keshi
may resume at his post in less than a fortnight
from now.
The NFF is speeding up the process of the
negotiations ahead of the country’s 2015 Africa Cup
of Nations qualifier against Rwanda in the first
week of September.
Keshi has already expressed his desire to continue
as the manager of the Eagles in response to the
offer made to him by the Federation.
The NFF said, “Having received a written
expression of interest from Mr. Stephen Keshi to
continue as head coach of senior national team,
Super Eagles, the Executive Committee mandated
the Secretariat to reach out to Mr. Keshi to
conclude the details of his contract and signing by
next week, so that he can resume work ahead of
the fast-approaching 2015 Africa Cup of Nations
qualifying series.”
Keshi took charge of the Eagles in November 2011
and during his two and a half years as manager.
He won the 2013 African cup and reached the
second round of the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil
before his contract ran out in July with that
competition.
Keshi had announced that he had offers from
several countries with South Africa as top on the
list.
