Super Eagles handler, Stephen Keshi has reiterated his desire to see Nigeria qualify for the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations stating that he pays little attention to the uncertainty surrounding his job as Super Eagles coach.
The Big Boss was replaced recently by Shaibu Amodu following Nigeria's poor run of results and was later reinstated by the NFF. Keshi who led the team to glory at the previous tournament in South Africa stated that “I don’t think it is proper to say my fate is tied to this job. My concern right now is the game against Congo, and not whether I will still be in charge of this team after the match against Congo or South Africa.”
“I think you all need to stop this because my destiny is not tied to Nigeria. I came from somewhere.
“It is wrong to say my destiny is tied here because this country is bigger than any individual. If I am not the Super Eagles head coach today, my life will still go on. Also there are other places where I can go if I stopped being the coach of this country.”
“But right now, I have a job to do and that is to ensure that the team qualifies the country for the Nations Cup. God forbid if we don’t qualify what will happen? It will not only affect Stephen Keshi, it will also affect you and every other Nigerian who love this sport.
“So I think this is not about Stephen Keshi but about Nigeria. All I want from my countrymen is to pray for the team and not me because I am just one man.”
