Yet again Kashimawo Laloko has reiterated that Stephen Keshi no longer has anything to offer the Super Eagles national team.
Laloko who was a former National Technical Director of the Nigeria Football Federation(NFF) argued that the country cannot lead the country to success, which explains why he should be cut loose now.
Keshi is yet to be offered a new contract by the NFF following the expiration of his last deal, and he has been working on an interim basis.
NFF president, Amaju Pinnick revealed that they are not in a hurry to sign up Keshi on a longer contract, adding that they are still working on some details.
But Laloko believes Keshi does not deserve another chance to still manage the Super Eagles.
“Keshi has shown he doesn’t have the tactical ability to lead the Super Eagles to success in the future. The manner in which he failed with the team is woeful; he should go,” Laloko told The Punch newspaper.
“This should not be seen as a witch-hunt. Every coach that has failed with any team has always been asked to leave. Why should Keshi’s case be different? We need to have another coach so the team can move on. Amodu has said it well, so has Chukwu.
“It doesn’t matter if it was the President that intervened in bringing Keshi back; we shouldn’t allow anyone to force a coach on us. I don’t know who the NFF wants to hire next but I’m convinced we have the best hands in Nigeria that can do the job,” Laloko said.
This is coming on the heels of so many criticisms that have trailed Keshi since Nigeria failed to qualify for the 2015 African Nations Cup tournament.
