Clauses In Keshi’s Contract That May Breed Misunderstanding In The Future




Clause 4.1
The Nigeria Football Federation shall employ the head coach for a period of two years. This is in the event that should the Eagles under the head coach fail to make it to the semi-finals of the 2016 African Nations Championship (CHAN), the NFF in its absolute discretion may decide to terminate this present contract.
Clause 4.3 reads:
Notwithstanding the provisions set out above or any other provision in this contract, the federation shall retain the right to terminate this agreement at any time where it is of the opinion that the coach, as demonstrated by his performance does not possess the ability or competence to achieve the federation's objectives as set out in this contract. In such a case, the NFF shall summarily terminate this contract without prejudice to the settlement by the parties of any existing financial obligations between them.”
Clause 5.4 of the contract says:
The head coach shall select the best crop of players of the Super Eagles who are in his opinion ready to excel in friendly and competitive games in consultation with the technical committee and the technical study group of the NFF.”
This is one area that could stir some controversy in the future, as it will be recalled that Keshi had some running battles with the immediate past technical committee of the NFF headed by Chris Green, over the invitation and selection of players.

  1. In my own opinion the clause to Keshi's contract is ok,it will enable him choose the best out of our players who are currently playing regular football in their various clubs. Keshi now should be wary of bad performance no more sentiment to our football. Thank god for football we are growing and going forward again. Clear that road for Super Eagles now!!!!!!!!
