Nigerian Sports Minis
ter Tammy Danagogo has said the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) would decide on whether or not to give coach Stephen Keshi a new contract.
Keshi’s contract ended with the recent World Cup in Brazil, where Nigeria reached the last 16 this month.
“My own role as regards Keshi’s contract will be advisory. It will be the NFF and the technical committee who will decide on Keshi,” Danagogo said on a radio programme monitored by Tidesports in Port Harcourt.
The Super Eagles would resume action with the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers in September.
African Football. Com first reported that ‘Big Boss’ Keshi has demanded for double his five million Naira-a-month salary.
He also wanted his salaries paid upfront to avoid delays and that he should be allowed to pick his staff.
This was when he met with the country’s President Goodluck Jonathan on arrival from Brazil 2014.
The 52-year-old Keshi has also been linked with the vacant coaching post of South Africa.
