“I have met with the president (Maigari) and hopefully things will be sorted out in a few days,” Keshi said.

Keshi flew into the country from his base in the US on the eve of the announcement of the dismissal of Samson Siasia as Nigeria coach.

Speculations have been rife the former Nigeria skipper will be given a short-term contract of six months with the team.

If ‘Big Boss’ is finally confirmed as the next coach, his first assignment then would be a friendly match against 2012 Nations Cup surprise qualifiers Botswana on November 12 in Nigeria.

The NFF technical committee is to meet on Tuesday in Abuja to recommend a replacement for Siasia.

However, technical committee chairman, Chris Green, has insisted no coach has yet been considered for the post by his committee.

“Nobody has been penciled down for interview or the job yet,” maintained Green.

The executive committee is expected to announce a new coach on Wednesday.
