Keshi opens up On Eagles' Failure

Chief Coach of Nigeria’s Super Eagles, Stephen Keshi has finally spoken on Nigeria’s failure to qualify for the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON, holding in Equatorial Guinea.

It was reported early on Thursday that Keshi did not appear for the post match conference on Wednesday’s night after his team were held to a 2-2 draw by South Africa’s Bafana Bafana at the Akwa Ibom International Stadium, Uyo.

Speaking moments ago, Keshi, who was reinstated to his post last month after he was relieved of his duty by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), said that a coach must take full responsibility for the result of his team.

The former coach of Togo and Mali added that he has to accept the fate that befell the Eagles under his watch.

According to him, Nigeria’s inability to defend the title it won last year in South Africa means that he has failed the country.
