Former Super Eagles coach loses wife to cancer

Kate, the wife of the former Super Eagles Coach (Stephen Keshi) is dead in the United States. According to Keshi, his wife has been sick for a while, but no one expected it to culminate in her passing away.

One of his friends told Premium Times “she has been ill for a while now but the death is coming as a big shock to us.” Reports say that he is currently depressed.

"She was ill for a while now and I'm still in shock of this great loss," Keshi told Completesports. 

The former Togo and Mali boss who in March gave out his daughter, Ifeyinwa, extolled the virtues of his late wife sobbing in a chat with Completesportsnigeria.com. "She is more like a sister to me and was the rock behind me and everything I do. My love for her was at first sight," he said. He however revealed that the burial arrangements will be made public in the coming weeks
