President of the Nigeria Football Federation(NFF) Amaju Pinnick has revealed that they will decide on the fate of Stephen Keshi very soon.
Keshi's position as Super Eagles coach is not yet clear with the NFF yet to offer him a substantive contract to work with.
Since his failure to qualify Nigeria for the 2015 African Nations Cup in Equatorial Guinea, there have speculations over his future.
“The chairman technical committee is on with coach Stephen Keshi. And he is going to recommend to the board the decision of his committee. Like I keep saying, contracts are not signed over night,” Amaju stated.
“We make an offer, Keshi says he doesn’t like it, it goes back to us, we insert the right clauses, it goes to the legal department. We just want to ensure that we do a thorough job.
“In Nigeria, we have a very peculiar environment and that is why it’s taking this long. We don’t want to make mistakes but to take a right decision that is beneficial to all.”
The NFF executives are expected in Lagos today for the CAF awards, and they would have a meeting before the event to make a decision on Keshi.
