About me / Bio:
Stephen Keshi was a Nigerian football player and manager who played as a defender and earned 60 caps for the Nigeria national team, making him the nation's second-most capped player at the time of his retirement. He represented the country at the 1994 FIFA World Cup and the 1994 Africa Cup of Nations, captaining the Super Eagles to victory in the latter. He also played club football in five countries, most notably Belgium, where he won the Belgian league championship with R.S.C. Anderlecht in 1991. As a manager, Keshi achieved success by qualifying Togo for the only FIFA World Cup appearance in its history in 2006. However, he left the position prior to the tournament and was replaced by Otto Pfister. He later coached his native Nigeria, where he became one of only two people, along with Egypt's Mahmoud El-Gohary, to have won the Africa Cup of Nations as both a player and a coach. He was honoured with several awards and recognitions, including the Nigerian National Order of MFR, which stands for Member of The Federal Republic of Nigeria, and the Africa Football Coach of the Year in 2013. He died in 2016 after suffering a cardiac arrest.
