LOME (AFP) - Nigerian Stephen Keshi will return to manage Togo for Wednesday´s friendly against Cameroon less than a year after being fired from the post for poor results.

"I´m returning to finish my mission," he told local radio on Tuesday.

Keshi was sacked in March 2006 following Ttogo´s disappointing showing at the Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt.

Togo have been without a manager since the departure of German Otto Pfister following last year´s World Cup which was dogged by controversy when the team threatened to strike over a pay dispute.

Arsenal´s Emmanuel Adebayor is among the 13-strong squad called up for the game.
