Eagles’ job: Chukwu blasts Keshi

Former Super Eagles coach, Christian Chukwu, has blasted Stephen Keshi on the issue of the Eagles job which he believes the former Hawks of Togo coach is holding the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to ransom.
Chukwu stated that the Eagles job is not Keshi’s birthright.
Keshi on Wednesday lost his bid for the Burkina Faso hot job as the 2013 AFCON runners-up preferred German, Gernot Rohr, for the Stallions.
The Amaju Pinnick-led Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) executive board has not been firm on whether or not to offer the former Mali and Togo gaffer a new contract.
Chukwu said the NFF should be firm and prompt on the Eagles job and stop the hide-and-seek with the former Nigerian strongman.
“NFF should stop using Keshi as excuse for their indecision on Super Eagles coaching job. It’s wrong for the NFF to be waiting on Burkina Faso to name a coach before deciding whether or not to hand Keshi a new contract. Super Eagles job is not an exclusive or permanent work place for Stephen Keshi or any other coach.
“I don’t think Keshi is really too heavy a burden for the Football House to deal with, rather they’re just trying to make something out of nothing. If truly they want Keshi, they should go ahead and hand him a new contract and if they don’t want him, they should forthwith tell Keshi we don’t want you.
“If they offer Keshi a new contract, all good and fine, at least, the side will have focus and the job at hand can get off the ground immediately,” said the former Rangers International of Enugu manager.
