Emma Addo, the agent to out of contract Super Eagles coach, Stephen Keshi, has confirmed that his client won’t accept the new contract offered him by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).
The NFF offered Keshi a new deal to continue in his role as coach of the Super Eagles, but with several clauses which were not contained in his former deal, despite being on the same N5million-per-month salary.
Addo insists the ex-Anderlecht defender deserves a better deal than the one currently on the table, which he terms as a slave contract.
“Keshi won’t sign, Nigeria can start looking for another coach, is that a contract or slavery, How can the NFF even come up with such idea,” he told sl10.ng.
“For all Keshi did for Nigeria there are better ways of releasing him, surely not this way, he won’t sign the NFF slave contract, he is not as hungry or jobless as they think.”
On what’s next for the 2013 AFCON winner, Addo said the NFF stopped Keshi from looking elsewhere, but with Nigeria now out of the way, his client will pick up a job very soon.
“Keshi belongs to the league of few indigenous coaches in Africa who are highly respected and sort after, The NFF wasted his time but now that they are no longer an option, I assure you in a few days’ time, my client will be employed,” the agent stated.
