Keshi's notice that he would like to continue was passed through by one of the assistants of the Big Boss and contained Keshi's acceptance of the NFF's formal offer on the coach's behalf.

The coach had after three years as the Eagles coach told the world that he would like to take up other offers after Eagles' Round of 16 loss to France in the World Cup.

The coach had been said to have been saddened by the NFF not providing him an official residence and car in the new contract.

He also asked for his salary to be always paid in time and for him to have full control of those who work under him.

This is coming as Nigeria gets ready to face Rwanda, in Nigeria, on September 7, the first qualifying match for the Africa Cup of Nations, Morocco 2015.
