The AFCON winning coach for Super Eagles Stephen Keshi has reportedly withdrawn his resignation after having a meeting with the sports Minister Bolaji Abdullahi.

Just barely 24hours after lifting the African Nations Cup 2013 trophy, Stephen Keshi tendered his resignation from what was said to have been caused by certain actions taken by members of the NFF board during the tournament in a bid to remove Keshi.

Below is an official press statement from Stephen Keshi

My attention has been drawn to reports in the media that I have resigned my appointment as the Head Coach of Super Eagles of Nigeria.

While I have had cause to express my displeasure over some issues that happened in the course of our participation in the AFCON 2013, which my team won by the grace of God, especially concerning my relationship with the Nigerian Football Federation, I have since had opportunity to discuss the various issues with all concerned. I am therefore pleased to say that I have reconsidered my position and have decided to continue with my job.

I want to thank the Honourable Minister of Sports, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, for his swift and kind intervention.

Signed

Stephen Okechukwu Keshi
