Stephen Keshi |
Earlier on, it was learnt that the Nigeria Football Federation had planned to sack Keshi before the match against Ivory-Coast and the NFF had chattered a plane for the Eagles to come back home when they heard that the Eagles are playing against Ivory-Coast.
The NFF is owing Keshi eight months salaries and an official car and also some amount of money meant for the competition.
His statement is as follow
"My attention has been drawn to reports in the media that I have resigned my appointment as the head coach of the Super Eagles of Nigeria," he said in a statement.
“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."
Keshi guided Nigeria to their first Nations Cup victory in 19 years on Sunday, and became just the second footballer to have won the trophy as a player and coach.
