Eagles coach, Keshi to face probe

In from Nifemi Daniel….
The Nigeria Football Federation has revealed that it will set up a panel of enquiry to investigate Super Eagles coach, Stephen Keshi, who was listed among the 59 coaches who applied for the vacant job of the Cote d ivoire national football team.
The Ivorian Football Federation (FIF) on Friday announced it had received 59 applications in the race to succeed Herve Renard which will be then narrowed down to three.
Keshi is still employed by Nigeria after returning as coach for the third time in April on a two-year contract with the NFF.
The FIF initially published on its website the name of Stephen Keshi and 58 other applicants for the Elephants job but later stepped down the page.
NFF Media officer, Ademola Olajire, said, “The NFF will open a full investigation to determine whether Mr Stephen Keshi actually applied for the vacant Ivory Coast job.
“There will be no hasty decision. We hope to get a full part from the Ivory Coast football federation before making an official statement.”
