Keshi Reveals “I Selected All Players On The Squad Myself”

Keshi

Nigeria coach Stephen Keshi has spoken on the prepared list for the Super Eagles, insisting he was not arm-twisted by members of the Nigeria Football Federation to include or drop any player. The list of the players for the Brazil 2014 World Cup camping is expected to be released today (Tuesday) after the meeting between the NFF Technical Sub-Committee and Keshi in Abuja.
Keshi, who spoke in Abuja on Monday, said he had a free hand from the NFF to select the best players for the World Cup, but he was not averse to taking advice from well-meaning Nigerians on squad composition.
He said, “The NFF is our parent body and should be concerned about team composition for the World Cup, because the body is made up of well-meaning Nigerians. But to be honest to Nigerians, nobody in the NFF has come to me to say pick player A or B. They respect my job as the head coach and I respect them as my employers and there is no clash of interest.”
The much awaited Eagles provisional list could be finally released today (Tuesday) after the meeting. The federation General Secretary, Musa Amadu, confirmed on Monday that the meeting would hold as scheduled.
