The Nigerian Football Federation has admitted that it owes Super Eagles coach Jose Peseiro his salaries, Saturday PUNCH reports.
“We have a friendly match against Portugal coming up in Lisbon November 17. Peseiro has compiled a provisional list and is only waiting for this weekend’s matches to submit his list of 23 players.Officials of the sports ministry have also assured that Peseiro will “very soon” be paid his outstanding salaries for the past six months.
A special adviser at the sports ministry blamed the delay in paying the coach on the processes of receiving funds from the Government, but was confident the coach will get his pay “very soon”. “His salary is being paid by the sports ministry, but we’ve quickly made an alternative arrangement, in conjunction with the ministry, to sort the salary payments this week,” he said.
Since taking charge of the Eagles in May, Peseiro has recorded three defeats – against Mexico, Ecuador and Algeria and two wins over Sierra Leone and Sao Tome and Principe in his first five games. He will on November 17 lead the Super Eagles against his native country Portugal in a friendly in Lisbon.All rights reserved.
