Reports also suggested the NFF attempted to sack Keshi prior to their quarter-final clash with the Elephants and now the nation's former public relations officer, Idah Peterside, has claimed the conduct of senior officials was at the root of his decision.
“Keshi only heard the NFF had given the secretary money for return tickets before the Ivory Coast game,
after they had won the game," he wrote on Twitter.
The 51-year-old coach told Goal.com before the final that he would "pack his bags and leave" if he felt he was not wanted.
