Stephen Keshi has reiterated his commitment to coaching the Nigerian Super Eagles, saying he will see to the end of his current deal with the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).
The Big Boss was linked with the vacant IVory Coast role and made the 57-man shortlist, but his agent, Emmanuel Ado, has insisted his client was happy to be in charge of the Super Eagles.
“Following calls by some journalists that my client Mr. Stephen Keshi and others like Giovanni Trapattoni, Domenech etc have been short listed by the Cote D’Ivoire Football Federation to replace former coach Herve Renard,I will like to make the following statements,” Ado wrote on his Facebook page.
“My client is very happy with his job as the head coach of the Super Eagles of Nigeria.He has a two- year contract with the Nigeria Football Federation.And as a professional,he will see out his contract.
“My client feels highly honored to be short listed by Cote D’Ivore – a great footballing country.Like you all know he has a very good relationship with Cote d’Ivore since his playing days. It is a relationship that he cherishes and would continue to cherish all the days of his life.
“We want to use this opportunity to call on all stakeholders and indeed all Nigerians to deny enemies of peace the chance they are looking for to cause distractions.We don’t need these distractions.”
Keshi signed a two-year contract to continue as head coach of the Eagles in April 2015.
