Super Eagles Coach, Stephen Keshi, says he would only accept to remain as the Chief Coach of the national team if only the football body would meet up with all the conditions that would make him comfortable in carrying out his assignment effectively.
Mr Keshi, who spoke through his Spokesman, Emmanuel Ado, in Kaduna on Sunday, said that for him to accept a fresh contract from the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) to handle the Eagles, the football body must provide him a befitting accommodation in the nation’s capital, Abuja, an official car and be willing to pay him the sum of 15million Naira as monthly salary among other demands.
He reiterated that since the NFF was wasting time in renewing his contract more than a month after the World Cup in Brazil, he owes nobody any obligation not to sign a new contract with another employer if such opportunity beckons.
Keshi frowned at a situation where Nigeria takes good care of its foreign coaches by providing them with all the luxuries, while such treatment is not extended to indigenous ones, even when they have performed well.
While he accused the NFF of reneging on most of the agreements it reached with him in his last contract, such as owing him arrears of salaries, not providing him with official vehicle and accommodation, Keshi maintained that this time around, he would ensure that all the agreements he reaches with the NFF are backed with either an immediate implementation or concrete clause.
Keshi’s demands came as the leadership crisis rocking the Nigerian Football Federation(NFF) lingers.
