Former Nigeria international Garba Lawal has slammed Super Eagles coach Stephen Keshi, saying the 52-year old has lost it.
Lawal has also called for Keshi to be replaced immediately after the qualifiers for the Morocco 2015 Africa Cup of Nations, irrespective of whether Nigeria qualifies or not.
The 40-year old Lawal has been a staunch critic of Keshi’s and has often criticized his selection policy. And now the former Roda JC of Holland midfielder tells sl10.ng that Keshi shouldn’t remain in charge of the Super Eagles, because he has ‘lost it’.
“At this moment, I would say Keshi has lost it. We don’t even know if we will qualify for the AFCON or not, because it is going to be very difficult right now. We lost one at home, lost one away, and drew away, so it’s a problem.
“We don’t have time for another coach to come in at the moment, but it still can be done. But Keshi has lost and I kept talking about the players he was ignoring. I talked about IK Uche and I wonder if Taiye Taiwo won’t play better than Elderson Echiejile is at the moment, but yet these guys are continually snubbed,” he said in a bit of an angry tone.
“So we should get another coach because we cannot continue contemplating which is not good for a country like Nigeria. Champions of Africa struggling to qualify for the African championship is not good enough because it is obvious the coach has lost it, he has lost it,” Lawal posited.
