Keshi , Yobo Quit Super Eagles

Stephen Keshi, Super Eagles coach, has resigned his appointment after leading the team to the second round of the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil.

 Keshi who made this known after the Nigerian football team was eliminated by France in the round of 16 match in Brasilia, Monday, said it was time to move on and face fresh challenges after leading his Nigeria to the Africa Nations Cup trophy last year and the ongoing World Cup in Brazil.

 “I have to go back to my family and face fresh challenges,” Keshi said....

Also the skipper, Joseph Yobo,has announced his retirement from the national side after the Super Eagles fell 2-0 to France in the second round of the World Cup.

The 33-year-old became the first Nigerian to play 100 international matches but capped it with an own goal in added time against Les Bleus.

“It was a bitter-sweet moment for me but I think it is time to focus on my family,” Yobo told reporters. “It has been a long road.”

“We’ve won the Africa Nations Cup and we came here and were not disgraced,” said the Fenerbahce man.

“I never thought that I’d be here because I missed the last six games of the season through injury. They gave me an opportunity but it is unfortunate what happened.

“I gave my all,” he said.
