NFF Raises Super Eagles Coach Salary To $80,000 Monthly

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has announced a significant change in the financial package for the new head coach of the Super Eagles, setting the monthly salary at $80,000. This decision represents a notable increase from the previous salary structure within the national team’s coaching hierarchy.

The former head coach, Jose Peseiro, was earning a monthly salary of $50,000, which had been reduced from an initial $70,000 per month. However, financial disagreements marred Peseiro’s tenure, ultimately leading to his departure. Reports indicated that Peseiro had requested a monthly pay of $120,000, a figure the NFF was unwilling to meet, opting instead to cap their offer at the current rate of $80,000.

This adjustment in salary reflects broader efforts by the NFF to improve the compensation package for coaching staff, demonstrating the federation’s commitment to securing top-tier talent for leadership roles within the national team. The move is viewed as a strategic investment in the Super Eagles’ future success, aiming to attract a high-caliber coach capable of elevating the team’s performance on the international stage.

The decision comes amidst preparations for upcoming friendlies against Ghana and Mali, providing the Super Eagles with an opportunity to bounce back from their recent performance in the African Cup of Nations (AFCON). As the team gears up for these matches, significant developments in player readiness and tactical planning are underway, underscoring the team’s determination to achieve improvement and success under the guidance of their new coach.
