NFF: Keshi not under pressure
Published: May 31, 2012
“The only thing the NFF can do at this period is to give Keshi and the entire team all the necessary support. That is what we are doing. I have not called for any inquisition into what he is doing or how he picked players for the upcoming matches, and I can assure you that nobody is doing anything like that.
“Of course, there is corporate desire for the Super Eagles to do well in the matches against Namibia, Malawi and Rwanda.
But we are not coaches and there is a limit to the moves that we can make.
“There is someone we have signed a contract with to deliver the 2014 FIFA World Cup and 2013 African Cup of Nations tickets, and we have a responsibility to allow him to do the job the way he knows best by simply giving him all the necessary support,” said Maigari.
Keshi, signed a four-year agreement with the Nigeria Football Federation in November 2011, with the understanding that he would qualify the team for the 2013 African Cup of Nations and the 2014 FIFA World Cup finals. under Keshi, the team has played seven matches, winning two, drawing three and losing two, including last week’s internationafriendly to Peru in Lima.
On Sunday, at the U. J. Esuene Stadium in Calabar, the Super Eagles host Brave Warriors of Namibia in a 2014 FIFA World Cup qualification campaign, African Series Day One, with the team flying out to Malawi on Thursday for a Day Two match against the Flames in Blantyre on June 9, and immediately returning home to play Rwanda’s Amavubi in a 2013 Cup of Nations qualifier in Calabar on June 17.
