The troubled relationship between the Nigeria Football Federation and their coach Stephen ''big boss'' Keshi has ended with the NFF sacking him because 'he is not committed enough' to the job.
The ''big boss'' has been replaced by Shuaibu
Amodu, who was appointed Nigeria's technical director last week.
The statement issued by the NFF said it had reviewed Keshi's
'actions and inactions' and found he lacked 'the required commitment to achieve
the federation's objectives as set out in the coach's employment contract'.
It added it had 'decided to exercise its option to summarily terminate the employment contract of Mr. Stephen Keshi with the federation with immediate effect'.
An NFF disciplinary committee headed by Chris Green has been
investigating allegations that Keshi applied to coach Ivory Coast while under
contract with Nigeria.
Keshi, 53, took over the national side in 2011 and led them to a long-awaited third African title two years later.
