Keshi has been widely reported to have agreed to take charge of only the Super Eagles for the AFCON 2015 qualifiers against Congo and South Africa next month. But he revealed that he will sign a permanent contract with the NFF.
The former Togo and Mali boss will seal a new deal before the Eagles qualifier against Congo in Calabar and will pocket N7 million monthly, along with other incentives.
“I’m back and I will be in the country once my agent gets me a ticket back to Nigeria,” he said.
“It’s not just about the money; it’s about providing a workable condition for the coaches to yield positive results for the team.
“I spoke with the Minister Tammy Danagogo and I’m confident things will get better because he has given me assurances.”
He also said that he is confident of starting afresh on a winning note.
“Every team wants to beat Nigerian but when Congo comes to town we will be ready for them,”
“It’s not my style to boast before a game but I can assure you that our immediate task is to qualify for the Nations Cup,” Keshi added.
