Keshi Returns as Super Eagles Coach for next month’s African Cup of Nation's Qualifiers

Stephen Keshi will return as Nigeria coach for next month’s Nations Cup qualifiers, only days after appearing to rule himself out of the job.

Keshi’s contract expired on 30 June and he said last week he had given up on negotiations over a new deal. But he has now “temporarily abandoned” his decision to walk away.

“I want to respect the wishes of Nigerians and the appeal by the Sports Minister to handle the team at least for the two games,” he said. “The need to answer the patriotic call and respect the wishes of Nigerians informed my coming for the key games.

 “I’m going to see out these two games and we’ll hopefully then sit down and talk about a new contract” “We work so hard to win the Nations Cup in South Africa, I think we should do all that we can to defend it in Morocco next year,” he added on AIT’s SportsExtra on Monday.
