There is no getting around it now. Stephen Keshi’s cycle as coach of the Super Eagles has come to an end. There is no anger, there is no bitterness. There is just… nothing. The final whistle in Khartoum was a knell that rung hollow in Nigerian hearts.
When Keshi became the trustee of Nigeria’s footballing hopes and dreams, the day was bleak. The Big Boss overhauled a team that had failed to qualify for the 2012 Cup of Nations, installing youth and injecting vitality. A policy of openness saw the likes of Ogenyi Onazi, Kenneth Omeruo, Godfrey Oboabona and Sunday Mba carve out a niche for themselves in the Super Eagles.
