President of the Nigerian Football Federation, Amaju Pinnick has stated that the football house will not make hasty decision regarding the future of Super Eagles Chief Coach, Stephen Keshi following the side’s embarrassing 1-0 loss to Sudan last Saturday.
The ‘Big Boss’ has managed just one win in his last 12 games in charge of the senior national team and has seen the team secure just one point out of a possible nine in the qualification for the 2015 African Cup of Nations scheduled to hold in Morocco.
Saturday’s defeat to Sudan has led to loud calls for Keshi’s removal but Pinnick has refused to indicate whether the football house will retain the services of the manager who is currently out of contract.
“We understand that Nigerians are furious over the fact that the Eagles are last in their pool and are in danger of not qualifying for the finals in Morocco. Everyone feels bad about this, including the members of NFF Executive Committee. I just want to call on Nigerians to have patience.
“This new board is determined to do things differently. We are passionate about the Nigeria game and what we want to achieve is build a sustainable football culture for our dear country.
“Our target is to ensure that Nigeria finishes in pole position at major football competitions in Africa and the world, and we believe this is achievable through hard work, diligence, strategic planning and the support of everyone,” Pinnick is quoted as saying by Super Sports.
