Speculations that the Super Eagles could face both Congo and South Africa in next month’s 2015 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers without a coach have now been put to rest. It is understood that Coach Stephen Keshi, who told BBC that he was “taking a walk” after contract talks between him and the Nigeria Football

Federation stalled would, afterall, lead the Eagles to prosecute the two matches.

WORRIED — Keshi

The agent of Stephen Keshi has claimed the coach has reached an agreement with the Sports Minister, Dr Tammy Danagogo to handle the Super Eagles next month so as to avert “a disaster”.

Nigeria host Congo on September 6 in Calabar and then face South Africa four days later in Cape Town.

Keshi’s manager Emmanuel Ado revealed that his brother has agreed to an appeal from the federal government to return to his post to avert “disaster” in these matches while contract talks continue.

Talks with Keshi’s agents were at an advanced stage, but have stalled no thanks to the leadership tussle that has bedeviled Nigerian football in the last four weeks.

“I want to announce that we have reached an agreement between Keshi and the minister of sports,”  Ado said

“The agreement is all about Nigeria. And as a patriotic Nigerian, Keshi has no choice than to answer to the appeal of Mr President.

“Talks will resume after the two matches, but my client and brother has agreed to take charge of the games, so as to avert any form of disaster.”

Sports Minister Tammy Danagogo has not hidden his preference for the 52-year-old Keshi to continue as Nigeria coach after he guided the Super Eagles to the knockout stage of the World Cup in Brazil.

However, the General Assembly of the NFF holding today in Abuja is expected to deliberate on the coach’s future with the team.

There are strong indications that a majority of the 44-man congress would rather vote for an interim coach and allow the incoming executive committee to make the final decision on who handles the African champions.

Elections into the executive committee are expected to be conducted within a fortnight in Warri, Delta State.
