Keshi’s previous contract ended following the elimination of our national team from the 2014 World Cup and the former Super Eagles defender, who has been in charge of Nigeria for three years, was then heavily linked with the South Africa job, a job that has now gone to local boy Shakes Mashaba.

The former Mali coach, has reportedly asked the NFF to provide him with an official residence and car, as part of his new deal, while he has also insisted that he wants his salary to be paid on time going forward.

The Super Eagles start their African Cup of Nations title defence against Rwanda on September 7.
