The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) and not the federal government will not be responsible for the salary of the new Super Eagles head coach.
The Federal Government has informed the NFF that it won’t pay the salaries of the new coach.
“The Federal Government will not pay the new coach of the Super Eagles, that’s the responsibility of the NFF,” one top official told SCORENigeria.
“This position will therefore go a long way in determining who is eventually hired to lead the Super Eagles.”
The NFF is yet to appoint a substantive head coach for the Super Eagles.
Three coaches, Emmanuel Amuneke, Domenec Torrent and Antonio Conceicao are reportedly in the running for the position.
Sports Minister, John Enoh revealed last week that a new coach will be appointed for the Super Eagles in the next two weeks.
