Nigeria have confirmed the departure of the head coach, Stephen Keshi, despite their 3-1 win over Sudan in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier on Wednesday night. Shaibu Amodu is set to be installed as fußballtrikots caretaker for the remaining two Group A games against Congo and South Africa. Amodu has had three previous spells in charge of Nigeria, from 1994-95, 1998-99 and 2008-10. Nigeria have four points from four games in Group A and are four points behind South Africa. Keshi had been out of contract after the World Cup but was then tasked with navigating the Super Eagles' route to next year's fussball trikots tournament in Morocco. However, he said that their qualification campaign was being "sabotaged" after they were defeated by Congo, drew in South Africa and lost in Sudan in their opening three games.
