Following critical reception of the Super Eagles last two games against Congo and South Africa, Sports Minister Tammy Danagogo has said that the NFF is responsible for the coach. He revealed that the Nigeria Football Federation decision, if they want Keshi or not will not be influenced by outside forces.

With the Eagles qualification for Morocco 2015 Nations cup going badly having acquired only 1 point from a possible 6.

Fans and football critics have been asking for Keshi head, questioning his team selection and tactics and his interest in coaching the team.

The Sports Ministry’s media assistant said: “It is up to the NFF to decide who handles the Eagles. The Minister only requested that Keshi should handle the two games, since there was a vacuum.

“He offered to pay for the services rendered by coach Keshi. But now that the two games are done with, it is squarely at the feet of the NFF to decide”.

After the game, Keshi had stated that he is unaware of any future plans, as he has not been given any contract yet.

Keshi said: “I’m not sure yet. I was just brought in to help manage these two games. We have finished them now, so we’ll see what happens. If we (he and the Nigerian federation) come to an agreement, yes I’ll stay. If no, I’ll depart. Let’s see how it turns out when I get home.”

 Super Eagles now have just a point after losing 2-3 to Congo and drawing 0-0  against South Africa.

Congo lead the group with 6 points, the South Africa with four, Eagles will face Sudan twice  in a row in October — home and away.
