Keshi: My priority is Nigeria, but…

Super Eagles coach, Stephen Keshi says he is ready to continue as manager of the national team if his contract with the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) is renewed.

Speaking to reporters in Abuja after his team’s arrival from Brazil, Keshi said he would love to finish what he started with the team if given the opportunity to continue.

“Although I have not spoken with the NFF yet, I am out of contract now and I need to move ahead,” he said.

“I have spent two and a half years in Nigeria and I love Nigeria; it is my country and the national team is in my blood. If I meet with the NFF and we agree to the conditions in a new contract, there is no problem.

“There are many countries like South Africa that are seeking my service, but I will give priority to Nigeria if we agree because I will love to finish what I started if everything goes on well. But if not, I will like to move my train to somewhere else, because it is always a good experience when you go out there and try something else.”

The Big Boss expressed optimism that the team would be a force to reckon with in a few years to come, if the players continue to play together.

“There is a lot of potential in the team because they are players, who, in the next three to four years, Nigerians should be proud of,” he said.

“But that is if we continue with this group of players with some additional ones.”
