I don’t live in fear of getting sacked, the job is all about hiring and firing - Keshi

Stephen  Keshi who happened to be the first black African coach to have won the Nations Cup trophy in 21 years and the only African coach to have qualified two nations for the World Cup tournament
, is however might not be enjoying a good time with his employer, the Nigeria Football Federation NFF of recent.

After winning the nations cup for the country early this year after 23years and also qualify the nation for the world cup in Brazil next year. It is shocking to know that Keshi has been owed up to 7month salaries by NFF. The Big Boss, in an interview spoke to BBC;

“This job is all about hiring and firing, when I was sacked in 2002 it came as a terrible shock but that is life, we all moved on because you can’t keep living in anger and disappointment.

“We are talking about Nigeria here, so you never know what may happen.

“But what is important right now is that we are only focusing on what lies ahead which is preparing my players and nothing else.

“You can’t distract yourself with what might happen or could happen. We’ve achieved beyond some people’s expectations but the rebuilding exercise continues.

“I don’t live in fear [of getting the sack]. To be honest, it is just a waste of energy, it is energy-sapping.”

Meanwhile, Keshi says he is stunned to hear top officials proposing to employ a foreign coach to assist him during the World Cup.

“I don’t need any foreign technical assistance to guide the Super Eagles to perform well at the World Cup so if one is suggested I will politely reject the offer because I already have capable assistants working with me,” Keshi said.

“Let them (those clamouring for it include the NFF) provide us an enabling atmosphere and requirement and we shall get the job done in Brazil. We are not saying we shall win the World Cup but we shall make an impact.”
