Stephen Keshi has admitted that he will take him time in deciding if to return as coach of Nigeria.
The Big Boss was dismissed earlier this month, after the Super Eagles defeated Sudan 3-1 in Abuja and Shuaibu Amodu was appointed as caretaker coach.
However, following President Goodluck Jonathan’s orders and a plea from Amodu, Keshi has been asked to continue with the team, at least for the rest of the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against South Africa and Congo.
“It is a very, very difficult decision. I am not sure I would say ‘no’ for now or ‘yes’ to the order,” the 52-year-old told reporters after meeting with sports minister Tammy Danagogo on Thursday.
“I still have to think about it because we all want peace. I want a settled mind before making the decision. I don’t have issues with anybody because life is too short. This is my country. I am always willing to offer my service.”
Keshi also insisted that money would not influence his decision.
“If I desperately wanted a contract, I would have opted for the offer made by Equatorial Guinea because the offer they made was bigger than what Nigeria offered. But this is my country and I want to serve it.”
