OUR MATHEMATICS IS WORKING (SEASON 3) **** NFF SACK KESHI **** Super Eagles Coach Stephen Keshi has been sacked as Nigeria coach and he will be replaced by the country’s former coach Shaibu Amodu in a temporary capacity before a new foreign coach is hired. In my first post concerning this i said NFF needs to sack KESHI for Nigeria to qualify and we have achieved that.I also mention Shaibu Amodu to replace him as Interim coach and we have also achieved that.I also said that the new coach needs to bring back Ike Uche, Sunday Mba, John Ogu, Obafemi Martins including Moses and all our best legs Keshi refused to use in the match against Congo.We re hoping to see that happen. Though many people are not happy including me the writer to see Keshi leave as Nigerian coach and some people are very angry to see Amodu back to the fold.But one thing is certain.Amodu hasnt fail in qualifying Nigeria to a major tournament whenever he is called upon.And also we cannot continue suffering from Keshi sturbboness everytime. This report is according to an official statement by the Nigeria Football Federation following an emergency meeting of the NFF Thursday morning in Abuja. Part of the communiqué read that Amodu has replaced Keshi. “The Committee, unanimously, praised the excellent contributions of the technical crew of the Senior national team, Super Eagles, led by Mr. Stephen Keshi, to the glorious accomplishments of the team in the past three years, and hailed Keshi, Daniel Amokachi and Ike Shorounmu as true national heroes. “However, in the interest of Nigeria football and the desire to ensure qualification for the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations finals, the Committee decided to relieve them of their duties with immediate effect. “The consortium, led by Amodu Shaibu, also has Salisu Yusuf, Gbenga Ogunbote and Aloysius Agu. The team also has a new co-ordinator in former international Garba Lawal, while Toyin Ibitoye is the new media officer and Godfirst Chike is the new equipment manager. Team secretary, Enebi Achor, is retained.” The NFF will pay the sacked coaches their entitlements within a fortnight and have also offered to send them on refresher coaches in any country of their choice. Amodu has returned to the saddle as Nigeria coach four years after he was booted and stopped from leading the country to the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. This will be Amodu’s fifth stint with the Eagles having first taken charge of the team in 1994. The 56-year-old Amodu will be assisted by El Kanemi Warriors coach Salisu Yusuf, who worked under Samson Siasia both with the Flying Eagles and Super Eagles, and Gbenga Ogunbote. The immediate task for the coaches is next month’s 2015 AFCON qualifier away in Pointe Noire, Congo. Nigeria need to win this match to stay in the reckoning for a place at Morocco 2015. They are third on the table with four points, while Congo are second with seven points. The African champions will also welcome Group A leaders South Africa to Uyo next month to conclude their qualifying campaign for Morocco 2015. When Samson Siasia didnt qualify Nigeria for the 2012 Afcon he was fired so Keshi knows what to expect from his employers. Keshi has no contract at the moment so there is nothing anybody will lose, I think he knows exactly what to expect though that decision is left to the NFF. Thats how the coaching job is, ups and downs. At one point youre a hero and at another time you become a villain. I WILL MISS #KESHI
