According to recent reports, the in-coming Nigeria coach Sunday Oliseh has told officials of the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, that he is comfortable to be paid the same five million Naira (more than $21,000) a month his predecessor Stephen Keshi earned.
The former Nigerian International is due to fly into Abuja on Tuesday evening, July 12, to meet with the NFF technical committee headed by Felix Anyansi-Agwu.
“Oliseh is ready to earn the same pay Keshi was on. This again shows he is ready to serve his fatherland and money is not what is driving him. This is another good sign with the decision to give him the job without much fanfare,” a source revealed.
The NFF have confirmed Oliseh, 40, will replace Keshi and he will be handed a five-year contract.
His backroom staff will include a Dutch assistant coach, Salisu Yusuf as well as Ike Shorunmu, who will remain as goalkeeper trainer. His most immediate task will be a 2017 AFCON qualifier in Tanzania.
