Coach Keshi Set to Dump Eagles, Signs Two-year Deal with South Africa

The Super Eagles Manager, Stephen Keshi, is
set to South Africa Soccer Federation on a
two-year deal on a coaching job.

Keshi will be the country’s senior national
team, the Bafana Bafana, immediately after
the ongoing Brazil 2014 World Cup.
It was learnt that Keshi would cease to be
the Super Eagles manager after the World
Cup, since he is accepted to take the offer
from South Africa.

The Big Boss would head to Johannesburg
straight from Brazil to sign the dotted lines
and be unveiled by the South Africans once
he is through with the World Cup
assignment, Daily Times gathered.
It would be recalled that South Africa had
last month sacked the Bafana Bafana
manager, Gordon Igesund, after their
friendly against Australia.

Eagle Online reports that a source said, “I
can confirm to you that the deal between
Keshi and SAFA has been signed and sealed.

“He is going to South Africa immediately
after the World Cup.
“The South Africans are impressed with
what he has done with the Eagles and want
him to turn around the fortunes of Bafana
Bafana.”

Keshi’s first assignment for South Africa
would be against the Super Eagles as South
Africa and Nigeria have been drawn into
the same group in the race to Morocco
2015.
