WHETHER or not coach Stephen Keshi will continue to be in charge of the Nigerian senior national football team, the Super Eagles will be among  top issues to be discussed when the executive committee of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) meets today in Abuja.

The future of Keshi as Nigeria’s head coach is expected to feature in the discussion between the Sports Minister, Dr Tamuno Danagogo and the NFF today in Abuja.

Keshi’s contract with the NFF expired at the end of the 2014 World Cup, where he led the Super Eagles to the Round of 16 of the tournament after a 2-0 loss to France.

Keshi, had earlier said:  No one has spoken to me about any contract or invited me for discussion. I am always ready to serve my country to the best of my ability. But we must do things properly”.

He also played down reports of him being in the frame to take charge of South Africa’s Bafana Bafana.

He also expressed excitement at being linked to the role of the South Africa head coach.

“The South Africa Football Association (SAFA) have not named their coach. Or have they? I’m happy I’m being considered worthy to handle the team of such a big country but they’ve not named me or any other person as their coach, so I can’t start talking in that capacity,” said Keshi.

Under Keshi as head coach, Nigeria won the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations and also reached the second round of the 2014 Fifa World Cup for the first time in 16 years.
