The head coach of the Super Eagles, Jose Peseiro, has reportedly received a payment of $210,000, which settles three of the 10 months’ salary owed to him by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).
It has been revealed that the head coaches of other national teams, including the Super Falcons, U-23 Eagles, Flying Eagles, Falconets, Golden Eaglets, and the Flamingos, have also been paid between five and seven months’ salaries.
Peseiro was previously owed a total of $700,000 for 10 months’ worth of salary by the NFF.
Prior to this recent payment, Peseiro had not received a salary since his engagement in May 2022 by the Amaju Pinnick-led Executive Board of the NFF.
The Portuguese coach was brought in following an assurance by the Minister of Youth and Sports Development, Chief Sunday Dare, after the Austin Eguavoen-led technical crew failed to qualify Nigeria for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
Regarding the outstanding bonuses and allowances owed to the various national teams, particularly the Super Eagles, the NFF Boss stated that all of it will be addressed soon, mentioning that some allowances have already been paid.
“The bills owed by the NFF are substantial, and we are working diligently to settle them soon,” Gusau concluded.
