The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) is set to offer the head coach of the national team a significant pay raise.
According to reports from SportingLife, the NFF has committed to a monthly salary of $80,000 for the incoming coach, marking a substantial increase from the compensation of previous head coach Jose Peseiro.
Peseiro, who led the Super Eagles until recently, was on a $50,000 monthly salary following a reduction from his initial $70,000 contract.
Akelicious reports Speculation has been rife that the Portuguese tactician’s departure from the role was influenced by his request for a salary hike to $120,000 per month—a figure that significantly exceeded the NFF’s final offer of $80,000.
As the search for a new head coach continues, the NFF’s readiness to enhance the remuneration package is expected to attract a wider pool of experienced candidates to the prestigious position.
