Stephen Keshi is in serious trouble

Nigerian coach Stephen Keshi is in serious trouble after he was reported to have made racist comments about Malawi coach Tom Saintfiet earlier this week.
The comments attracted considerable attention from the football family. However, Keshi's problems have been made worse by the fact that the matter has now been reported to FIFA. This was confirmed by Saintfiet on Sunday.
"Mr Keshi can call me mad and crazy - no problem - but the racism is unacceptable," Saintfiet told the BBC.
"It is unacceptable that any person says these words - it is clear racism. It is 100% sure that my lawyers will lodge a complaint with FIFA," added the Malawian coach.
"These words create hate and aggression, and creates a risk ahead of the match in Calabar," added the Malawian coach.
"These comments are unacceptable and I am very sad about them. I will not say any bad words about Mr Keshi, nor Nigeria - I only spoke about moving the game. If FIFA takes racism seriously, then you have to take it seriously in both directions. If a European said something of this nature about an African, you would have a huge problem," explained Saintfiet.
"I am against racism in all directions."
