Nigerian coaches have declared their support for Super Eagles coach, Stephen Keshi who recently signed a fresh 2-year contract with the Nigeria Football Federation.

Speaking from his base in Calabar, national Public Relations Officer of the Nigerian Football Coaches Association, Etta Egbe said, “Nigerian coaches will give Keshi our total support to succeed. We want to congratulate both Keshi and the Nigeria Football Federation in particular for re-signing Keshi because the pressure was too much.

“We know that if it were based on public opinion, Keshi would not have been given the job. So, we thank the NFF for believing in the Nigerian coach,” Egbe said.

Egbe said Keshi must encourage younger players into the Super Eagles squad.

“He is lucky because he won’t have any problems getting the right players. Manu Garba and Samson Siasia have enormous talents in the U-20 and U-23 squads. Keshi can benefit a lot from these teams. But he has to complement the skills of the youthful players with experience.”
