Super
Eagles coach, Stephen Keshi and the team captain Joseph Yobo have both
quit the Nigerian National soccer team after failing to qualify for the quarter-final stage of the
2014 World Cup. Stephen Keshi, took to his twitter account
to confirm he's quitting the Super Eagles.
The team captain, Joseph Yobo yesterday evening also announced his resignation as a player for the
super eagles. Yobo after the 2-0 loss to France, told reporters
that it was time for him to go face his family.
"It was a bitter-sweet moment for me but I think it is time to focus
on
my family. It has been a long road. I never thought that I’d be here because I missed the last six games
of the season through injury. They gave me an opportunity but it is
unfortunate what happened. I gave my all,” he said.
Yobo
follows in the step of Kanu Nwankwo who announced his retirement after
the World cup in 2010. The 33 year old defender said he would like to
concentrate on club football now.
