The chairman of Port Harcourt Football Referees Society (PHFRS) has asserted that Coach Okechukwu Stephen Keshi has finished all what he knows about football with the Super Eagles, hence has no more ideas or things to add to advance the course of the Eagles in football either in Africa or internationally.
The soft spoken chairman also said, those who returned Keshi has not done any good to Nigeria especially the Super Eagles he is directly incharge of, “Keshi has not developed our football, for me, Keshi is not a good coach. If he is a good coach, he aught to have gotten formidable 22 man team for Nigeria at the local league but instead of doing that, he depended on foreign based players in any match. Then why is he a coach?
A good coach will always go round the local leagues to discover quality players as to prepare a formidable team for the country for goodness sake, he is the coach, of the national senior team, at such, he ought to establish a standing by formidable first and second eleven for the country. And stop depending on foreign based?
He frown at the situation why Keshi was returned as coach of the Super Eagles, saying there is no hope for the Super Eagles under Keshi.
Reacting to the fate of Keshi, he said, if he fails or succeed in qualifying the Super Eagles for AFCON 2015, it will depend on those who returned him as coach of the Super Eagles either to keep him or sack him.
However, he said, Nigeria has quality players and needs only a good tactician to manage them to greater height.
He subscribed to the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) hiring an indigenous tactician rather than a foreigner. Preferably, Coach Samson Siasia who is a better tactician than Keshi, with Siasia Nigeria has a better prospect, he said. ###
