Keshi, Yobo and Enyeama Quit Super Eagles

Nigeria Super Eagles coach, Stephen Keshi has resigned his appointment after leading the team to the second round of the 2014 FIFA World Cup.

Speaking after the Eagles were eliminated by France in the round of 16 match in Brasilia, Monday, the Delta State-born tactician said it was time to move on after leading his country’s national team to the Africa Nations Cup trophy last year and the ongoing World Cup in Brazil.

” Keshi said. “I have to go back to my family and face fresh challenges. “It’s a pity we lost. We did not deserve to lose. We can compete with any team. It was a good performance, but the way we lost was not good.

“There have been improvements, the players are very young and in two years, this group will be wonderful.

“Any loss is painful, be it first round or a friendly game. When you see your team playing good football and doing what you asked them to do, and all of a sudden it turns around and you lose the game. I don’t think we deserved to lose this way, but it’s part of football.

“We don’t want to start putting blame on one or two people. The blame is on the entire team. We play as a team. We win as a team. We lose as a team. So I don’t

Similarly, Super Eagles Captain, Yobo Joseph said he has had enough and can go no further as national team player. “I think I should give the younger ones the opportunity to forge ahead. I have nothing new to offer.”

Vincent Enyeama has also disclosed that the game against France could be his last appearance in a Nigerian shirt.

The Nigerian goalkeeper said after a 0-2 loss to the French national team in the second round of the Fifa World Cup on Monday that he will still have to “sit with my wife” before making a decision.

It is apparent the 31-year-old Nigerian custodian needs time to clear his head and take stock of what might have been at the World Cup in Brazil.

“At some point you need to just say may be I’ll take some years off, may be I’ll take some months off, may be I call it quit. May be I’ll sit with my wife and see what happens. Hopefully may be, may be it’s my last game,” Enyeama said after the match.

The Lille OSC goalkeeper played in all of Nigeria’s four matches at the World Cup.

He is one of the standout performers at the Mundial as he made 21 saves and kept two clean sheets in 360 minutes of World Cup football in Brazil.
