Super
Eagles coach, Stephen Keshi, admitted on the eve of his side’s
semi-final clash against the Eagles of Mali that he has been having
selection headache since he first picked up the job of coaching Nigeria.
The return
of Norway based Fegor Ogude, from a match suspension means that he has
to battle Ogenyi Onazi, for the defensive midfield role after the Lazio
of Italy man put up a yeoman’s performance in the quarter-final duel
against Ivory Coast.
“It’s been tough and I always have this headache of selection but with Fegor back, it’s going to be tough picking who to start but by Wednesday we shall see who starts,” Keshi said at the Press Conference preceding the tie.
Keshi also took a swipe at mediocre foreign coaches that are often
hired by football federations in Africa and reiterated his call for it
to stop.
“If we hire a quality coach from Europe that we can learn something
from, I won’t have issues with that but when they come from the backyard
and parade themselves as expatriate coaches when they don’t know what
ex-internationals like us know then I am against it,” Keshi said.
