Nigeria's African Nations Cup-winning coach Stephen Keshi has performed a u-turn and rescinded his resignation as boss of the Super Eagles.

It is a remarkable about-turn from Keshi who on Monday told a South African radio station that he had quit. The 51-year-old appeared on Metro FM, part of public broadcaster SABC, and said he had informed the NFF of his decision following the final. Metro FM presenter Robert Marawa tweeted: "Stephen Keshi has just announced that he handed over his resignation letter after the game exclusively on 083Sport@6 With Marawa on MetroFM". Keshi is only the second man to win the Nations Cup as a player and a coach - following Egypt's Mahmoud El Gohary.
