Keshi back at Nigeria job

Stephen Keshi has been appointed Nigeria coach for the third time following his  signing a two-year contract on Tuesday.

In his first spell he won the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations but the deal was not renewed after the 2014 World Cup. 

He later returned on a match-by-match deal, which ended in November following failure to reach the 2015 Nations Cup. 

“It's a fresh start. We need the support of our fans, media and every Nigerian to return the team to where we truly belong,” Keshi told BBC Sport. 

“As a coach and former player, I was also hurt that we failed to qualify for the last Nations Cup.  

“To succeed we all need to come together as one because Nigeria belongs to us - this is not Stephen Keshi's team but our national team.” — BBC
