Head coach of the Super Eagles, Gernot Rohr, has vowed to defeat Bafana Bafana of South Africa this weekend, in memory of former handler of the team, Stephen Keshi.
Keshi who led the Super Eagles to win the AFCON in South Africa in 2013, died in June 2016.
“We will dedicate our expected win over South Africa in Uyo on Saturday to Keshi to mark the one year of his death. The boys will play this game with all their might to ensure we get a win in memory of the former coach of Super Eagles,” Rohr said in a chat with Completesportsnigeria.com.
“Keshi was a committed person as a player, I played against him in the French league while he was with Strasbourg. He was a good leader and good coach. We will play for him.”
Nigeria will take on South Africa in a 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier on Saturday in Uyo.
