NFF Sacks Keshi, Replaces Him With Amodu As Samson Siasia Is Named Under 23 Coach

Stephen Keshi has been sacked as Nigeria coach, with Amodu Shuaibu to lead a consortium of coaches for the final two games of the 2015 African Nations Cup qualifier.

An expatriate coach will thereafter be appointed to take charge of the squad.

According to veteran Sports Journalist, Colin Udo The decision was among others announced by the NFF Executive Committee after a meeting in Abuja on Wednesday night 'in the interest of Nigerian football and the desire to ensure qualification for the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations finals'.

Keshi's two-year contract with the NFF lapsed in June, and the former national team captain has been working in a caretaker capacity since then.

But after a disastrous qualifying campaign in which the Super Eagles only picked up one point from their opening three games, there were widespread calls for him to be let go.

In a related development, 

Samson Siasia has been named Nigeria Under 23 coach.

The former international, who last coached the Super Eagles before he was replaced by Stephen Keshi, will be assisted by Farayi Amoo.
