Reprieve may have come the way of Super Eagles Chief Coach Stephen Keshi following his comments about former Malawi Coach Tom Saintfiet in August. The Malawi Football Association (FAM) had reported Keshi to world football ruling body FIFA after he called the Belgian “a white dude who should go back to Belgium”. The Malawian FA alleged the comments, which came ahead of the sides’ 2014 world cup group qualifier in September, were racist. But FIFA has given a final warning to Keshi saying it would “impose severe sanctions on him if such incidents happen again”. Keshi and Saintfiet became embroiled in a row after the Belgian said the match should be moved from the Nigerian city of Calabar on security grounds.
