"Sacking Me Won’t Solve Eagles’ Problems – Keshi

Super Eagles head coach, Stephen Keshi, still wants to continue in his role despite missing out on qualification for next year’s Africa Cup of Nations. Keshi believes sacking him will do nothing to reverse the downward trend the team is currently experiencing, insisting the problems go beyond him. “If a team fails, sacking the coach won’t solve the problem. The authority should look beyond the coach to find solutions to the problem,” sl10.ng quoted Keshi as saying on Friday.

Keshi, who has been working without a contract since the expiration of his last deal after the World Cup, admitted that failure to qualify for next year AFCON is a failure on his part.

“I can’t deny it is a shame that we failed to qualify, on my part I failed the nation but my players took South Africa for granted in a match they need to win.”

Keshi’s agent Emma Addo was however silent on his client future, but echoed Keshi’s sentiment that the problems of the team go beyond the coach.
