Former Super Eagles coach Christian Chukwu has urged Stephen Keshi to forget lobbying to retain the Nigerian national team coaching role.
Keshi, who won the African Cup of Nations as both a player and a coach, was axed during Nigeria’s 2015 AFCON qualifying campaign but was subsequently recalled and was unable to steer his country to a place in Equatorial Guinea.
The former Togo and Mali coach is currently waiting for NFF to give him a new contract, but former coach Chukwu has advised him to seek new pastures rather than to wait around for the Nigerian Football Federation to come to a decision.
“Well, my candid advice to Keshi, you know with all this problems in the NFF, it will take a long time for the association to sit and start deciding anything about the technical crew, I think if he has a better offer anywhere he is free to go and his contract will be respected more outside the country because I am talking out of experience,” Chukwu told journalists in Lagos.
The Big Boss has been linked with a couple of jobs outside the shores of the country but nothing concrete has been reached in the past months.
