Stephen Keshi and Joseph Yobo quit Super Eagles

Super Eagles coach, Stephen Keshi and the team captain Joseph Yobo have both quit the team after failing to qualify to the quarter-final stage of the 2014 World Cup, Vanguard reports.

Speaking this evening after the Eagles' loss to France in the round of 16, Keshi said it was time to move on.
"I have to go back to my family and face fresh challenges,” Keshi said.
Eagles Captain, Yobo Joseph also said he's had enough and can go no further as national team player. “I think I should give the younger ones the opportunity to forge ahead. I have nothing new to offer.”

Oh yeah. Yobo, you obviously have nothing to offer again. Just find a place and think of the next business to do. Keshi, you tried. You did your best, but your best wasn't good enough.

Mr Yobo only went there to disgrace himself and when you also have a coach that doesn't listen to criticism that is always the result. I don't feel bad that we lost but for onazi,babatunde and osaze I felt bad.Nigeria should wake up in 2018 and pls get a coach that will start preparing from now and not impromptu preparation or better still bring my Coach Siasia back becos wether you like it or not he is the best but Keshi is just lucky.

It's been a long time coming and Keshi's heart was long gone from the super eagles......kudos to him though for his achievements with the team.

I wish Keshi would go and would stay and build a better team, as for Yobo congrats on his 100 caps, but I wish he didn't even make the squad, not just cos of his unfortunate own goal, but just cos we had better options.

Anonymous said...

well it's not a surprise. keshi tried and we saw it in their performance even though they didn't make it to quarter finals. The criticisms he is currently facing can make one quit. As for Yobo u don't need to quit coz you are one of the oldest player,u have served your country well. daalu
