The big boss as he is popularly called has enjoyed a good run as head coach of the country as in his first spell as coach, he won the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations.
His deal was however not renewed after a not too good outing at 2014 world cup in Brazil and failing to clinch a ticket to the AFCON 2015.
Speaking after his extending his contract, Stephen Keshi said
“It’s a fresh start. We need the support of our fans, media and every Nigerian to return the team to where we truly belong”.
“As a coach and former player I was also hurt that we failed to qualify for the last Nations Cup.
“To succeed we all need to come together as one because Nigeria belongs to us, this is not Stephen Keshi’s team but our national team,” Keshi told BBC Sport."
