Former Super Eagles forward, Osagie Odemwingie has revealed that he was aware that coach Stephen Keshi was struggling with his health during the World Cup in Brazil, but he was still shocked to hear of his demise months after.
Keshi, in 2013, became the first Nigerian to lift the African Cup of Nations as captain and coach, when he guarded the Super Eagles to continental glory in South Africa.
Nearly two decades earlier, the former Anderlecht star skippered Nigeria to her second AFCON triumph in Tunisia.
The ex-Togo boss then led the Super Eagles to the 2014 World Cup, where an Odemwingie strike secured a win over Bosnia and ensured passage to the knockout stages of the tournament.
The former Stoke City star admitted he had to set aside his differences with Keshi before he was invited to be a part of the Nigerian team to the Mundial.
Keshi, however, died two years later after suffering a heart attack, to the surprise of everyone, including Odemwingie.
