The Nigeria Football Federation
have appointed Stephen Keshi as national team coach with the
former captain replacing Samson Siasia, who was sacked last week
after the Super Eagles failed to qualify for the 2012 Africa
Nations Cup.
"Keshi will be expected to qualify the Super Eagles for the
2013 African Nations Cup... as well as the 2014 World Cup
finals, and take the team to at least the quarter-final stage in
Brazil," a statement from the federation said on Friday.
Nigeria finished runners-up in their Nations Cup group
after failing to beat Guinea at home in their final group game
last month.
