Super Eagles coach, Stephen Okechukwu Keshi is condemned to taking
Nigeria to the semi final of the Brazil 2014 World Cup if he must
retain his job with the team after the mundial.
We discovered yesterday that a clause in Keshi’s contract signed November 2011 clearly stated that the coach must take the Eagles to the World Cup last four to get contract renewal.
A top NFF official who reeled out some of the clauses in Keshi’s contract exclusively to us pointed out that the coach has so far delivered when it comes to performance, since taking over from Samson Siasia.
According to our source, the coach had what could pass for two special mandates (clauses) in his contract. First was to qualify for the 2013 Nations Cup and get at least to the semi and the second is to qualify Nigeria for the World Cup and reach at least the semi final.
“The World Cup semi final mandate (clause) was clearly enshrined in Keshi’s contract. And it appeared in Clause 5.4 of his contract.He was also mandated to reach the semi final of AFCON and he surpassed that by winning the cup. The challenge for him now is to go to Brazil and deliver by taking the Eagles to the last four. If he fails, then the NFF in line with the relevant clause is free to terminate the contract.”
We further gathered that the NFF/ Keshi contract has a clause that states that all disputes shall be settled at the Lausanne, Switzerland based Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS)
