Minister of Sports says Foreign Assistant will not be imposed on Keshi
The Minister of Sports, Bolaji Abdullahi, has said that Super Eagles coach, Stephen Keshi, will not be forced to work with a foreign assistant, as Nigeria begins to prepare for next year’s World Cup.
Abdullahi said this while briefing State House correspondents and Federal Executive Council on the recent success of the national football teams.
Several sports-people have suggested that Keshi might need help from a foreign technical assistant, to do well at Brazil 2014 but Abdullahi insists that no one will be imposed on Keshi, except the coach makes a personal demand.
“If Keshi who we believe has done a very good job feels he needs additional technical support, we are going to give it to him.
“But we are confident he is capable of doing the job. We have confidence in his ability to lead the team to the World Cup.”
