The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has paid its respect to the late Stephen Okechukwu Keshi.

The former Super Eagles player and coach sadly left this world on June 7, 2016.

NFF via its official Twitter handle celebrated the second year anniversary of his death by eulogising him for his contributions to Nigerian football.

The tweet from the handle said: “Today we remember Nigeria and Africa football legend, Late Coach Stephen Okechukwu Keshi who passed on, on this day in 2016. Thank you for the memories ‘The Big Boss.’ We can never forget you. #WeRememberKeshi”

Stephen Keshi cemented his name in the history of African football in 2013 after he became only the second coach to win the African Cup of Nations (AFCON) both as a player and coach.
