| Super Eagles coach, Stephen Keshi |
The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) will soon begin
offsetting the outstanding salaries of the various national team coaches, we
can authoritatively report.
Sources at the NFF headquarters in Abuja disclosed
that the Federation would begin making the payments of salaries to coaches like
Super Eagles and Super Falcons handlers Stephen Keshi and Kadiri Ikana very
soon. Flying Eagles and Golden Eaglets coaches John Obuh and Manu Garba are not
left out, we gathered.
Our correspondent gathered that the salaries have
been pending since the beginning of the year and had at some point almost
caused trouble between the coaches and the Federation. But now respite has come
the way of the coaches that have diligently continued to do their jobs in spite
of not being paid.
The development comes just a day after the Federation
received N350million boost in sponsorship money from telecommunications giant
Globacom.
Globacom is making a return to sponsorship of
Nigerian football about four years after it pulled out of sponsoring both the
national team, the Super Eagles and the Nigeria Premier League (NPL).
Meanwhile, Coach Keshi is expected to release the
list of players that will make it to Eagles camp for the Liberia cracker soon.
Unconfirmed reports claim that ‘The Big Boss’ could release the list next week.
