The winning coach for Super Eagles at
the AFCON, Stephen Keshi has reportedly withdrawn his resignation after having
a meeting with the sports Minister, Bolaji Abdullahi.
An unbelievable twist landed on the Nigerian football camp
on Monday evening, after Coach Stephen Keshi announced his resignation from his
job as the coach of the Nigerian national team, just less than 24 hours after
he guided the Super Eagles to AFCON glory at the National Stadium.
A few hours ago, he backtracks and has withdrawn his resignation. See his official statement below
My attention has been drawn to
reports in the media that I have resigned my appointment as the Head Coach of
Super Eagles of Nigeria.A few hours ago, he backtracks and has withdrawn his resignation. See his official statement below
While I have had cause to express my displeasure over some issues that happened
in the course of our participation in the AFCON 2013, which my team won by the
grace of God, especially concerning my relationship with the Nigerian Football
Federation, I have since had opportunity to discuss the various issues with all
concerned. I am therefore pleased to say that I have reconsidered my position
and have decided to continue with my job.
I want to thank the Honourable Minister of Sports, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, for his swift and kind intervention.
