Keshi Warned By FIFA "We Will Impose Sanctions If Such Happen's Again"

Fifa has warned Keshi saying it would "impose sanctions if such incidents happen again".

The Malawi Football Association had reported Keshi to Fifa after telling their Belgian coach "white dude should go back to Belgium".

A Fifa spokesperson wrote in an email to Nigeria's This Day Newspaper: "The chairman of the Fifa Disciplinary Committee referred to article 57 of the Fifa Disciplinary Code and requests that Mr Keshi guarantees that incidents of such high gravity do not occur again in the future.

"If such incidents should happen again, the Fifa Disciplinary Committee will be left with no other option than to impose sanctions against the coach, Mr Stephen Keshi."

Keshi and Saintfiet became embroiled in a row after the Belgian said the qualifier should be moved from the Nigerian city of Calabar on security grounds.

It escalated when Keshi reacted angrily to Saintfiet's suggestion that Calabar is not safe.

The match went ahead in Calabar on 7 September and Nigeria won 2-0, sending them through to the final round of African qualifying for next year's tournament in Brazil.

The African Champions will face Ethiopia in Addis Ababa on 12 October for the first match of the two-legged tie, with the return in Calabar on 16 November.
