I was never contacted about Orlando Pirates job. says Keshi

The tactician remains favourite to land the Buccaneers’ job, but the former Nigeria handler says he has not been contacted

Stephen Keshi claims he has not been approached by Orlando Pirates to handle the Bucs.
Reports in the media suggest that the 2103 Africa Cup of Nations winning coach is on the brink of being named as Eric Tinkler’s replacement.
However, the 54-year-old reveals he has never been approached by the Parktown based outfit.
“Honestly I'm shocked to hear this," Keshi told sportmasta.com.
"I don't know where this is coming from because I have not discussed anything or offer with anyone and my representative have not done so too, or otherwise I would have been informed.
"Like I told you the last time if I'm approached and the deal meets my terms, why not? I'm a professional and open to offers provided they are good enough for me."
Keshi’s representative Tim Sukazi also made it known that there exist no deal between his client and Orlando Pirates.
"I should emphasise that at this stage, there is no such deal. He signed up with us to manage him because of our stronghold in SA and, it is our intention to bring him here," Sukazi told South African newspaper, Business Day.
"If Pirates come out and say they need a coach, then definitely, we’ll look to take him there. But have we engaged with Pirates in that regard? No.”
Keshi led the Super Eagles to their third African title in 2013, and also took the team to the Round of 16 at the World Cup in Brazil 2014.
