Stephen Keshi has announced he is stepping down as the Super Eagles coach following the World Cup defeat to France on Monday.
The Super Eagles pushed France hard in their second round match in Brasilia only for Paul Pogba’s late header and a last-gasp own goal by Joseph Yobo to seal a 2-0 win for Les Bleus.
It appears that will be Nigeria’s final match under Keshi, who said: “It’s time for me to go back to my family and face fresh challenges.”
Keshi equally wrote on his twitter handle @OfficialKeshi: “Friends, it has been a good run and I have enjoyed every moment. It’s been an honour coaching the SuperEagles. It is however time to bow out.”
Last week, The Eagle Online broke the news that the South Africa Football Association offered the 52-year old gaffer a two-year deal to manage the Bafana Bafana.
The Afcon 2013 winning tactician is also considering three other offers in Africa.
Keshi has resigned his post once before, a day after winning last year’s African Nations Cup, but was persuaded to stay on.
