Stephen Keshi has claimed that he is ‘shocked’ to be linked with the Orlando Pirates job.
Reports suggested that the former Super Eagles coach, was set to be named as Eric Tinkler’s replacement. But Keshi insists he has never been approached by the South African club.
“Honestly I’m shocked to hear this,” Keshi told supersport.com.
“I don’t know where this is coming from because I have not discussed anything or offer with anyone and my representative have not done so too, or otherwise I would have been informed.
“Like I told you the last time if I’m approached and the deal meets my terms, why not? I’m a professional and open to offers provided they are good enough for me.”
Keshi’s agent, Tim Sukazi, also added that there was no deal between them and the Bucs.
“I should emphasise that at this stage, there is no such deal. He signed up with us to manage him because of our stronghold in SA and, it is our intention to bring him here,” Sukazi told South African newspaper, Business Day.
“If Pirates come out and say they need a coach, then definitely, we’ll look to take him there. But have we engaged with Pirates in that regard? No.”
