Keshi claims that he was sacked
prior to their quarterfinal clash against Ivory Coast, because
apparently the Nigerian Football Federation booked a plane back to
Nigeria as soon as they found out that they will play Ivory Coast.
However, Keshi claimed on Metro FM
that he heard about the arrangement made by the NFF after the Mali game,
and that he did not want to take it to mind as it would have affected
his teams preparations.
Keshi’s resignation letter still
has to be discussed by the NFF, and the coach says he is unlikely to
change his mind, because he believes that NFF did not trust and respect
his tactics as a coach.
The coach did tell Goal.com a few days before the final, that he would 'pack his bags and leave' if he felt he was not wanted, and it is a surprising turn of events after the coach was highly praised from all quarters.
