Head of Coaching and Training Department at the National Institute of Sports (NIS), Jimmy Adeniyi has expressed unhappiness over Coach Stephen Keshi’s arrears of wages vis à vis the Nigeria Football Federation.
Adeniyi believes the Super Eagles manager who contributed a lot in the foregoing of the Nigerian football in recent international competitions does not deserve such treatments.
He moreover admitted that the backlog of wages added to the idea of hiring a foreign assistant to aid Keshi does encourage the reigning African champion coach at all and calls the national football leaders to reset the mood to encourage their home grown manager set to lead the national team to Brazil next year.
“Stephen Keshi is doing a marvellous and wonderful job, all he needs is more encouragement,” Adeniyi said.
“But there is still a backlog of salary left to be paid to him, that does not encourage (anyone).”
