Keshi re-appointed as Nigeria coach - federation

Stephen Keshi has been re-appointed as coach of African champions Nigeria after he was sacked earlier this month, in the latest twist in a long-running battle for control of the country's football federation.

The head of the federation's technical committee, Felix Anyansi-Agwu, said his body had "decided to accept" a proposal re-instating Keshi as Super Eagles coach for Nigeria's next Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Congo and South Africa in November.
