Sports Editors Join Bandwagon For Immediate Removal Of Stephen Keshi

The Guild of Sport Editors, the umbrella body of all managers of sports in the Nigerian media, has called for the immediate removal of Stephen Keshi as caretaker coach of the Super Eagles following Saturday’s disgraceful loss to Sudan in a 2015 AFCON qualifier in Khartoum.

The body wants the new executive committee of the Nigeria Football Federation(NFF) to ask Keshi to stay away from the team for the reverse fixture of the AFCON qualifier in Abuja on Wednesday.

‘The Guild feels Keshi should not be honoured with a place on the Super Eagles bench on Wednesday in the reverse fixture after toying with the emotions of over 100 million football loving Nigerians through his unnecessary arrogance, unguarded and sometimes insulting utterances as well as questionable invitation of players to the national team,”said the Guild’s president Tony Ubani in a statement on Sunday.

‘We also want the NFF not to re-open contract extension talks with Keshi who seems to have lost the motivation to take the Eagles beyond where they are now.”
