Stephen Keshi becomes second man to lift AFCON title as a player & coach

Stephen Keshi was overjoyed after his Nigeria team beat Burkina Faso 1-0 in the African Nations Cup final on Sunday, helping him become the second man to lift the title as a player and coach.

Egyptian Mahmoud El Gohary (1959 and 1998) is the only other individual to have achieved the feat.



"I am so proud of what my players did in this tournament, they played well and they concentrated on the job. They have so much potential."

"It is an honour for us as Nigerians to represent Africa," said Keshi.
