Officials have assured that Super Eagles coach Jose Peseiro will “very soon” be paid his outstanding salaries for the past six months.
Peseiro was appointed in May on a monthly salary of $70,000, but he has yet to be paid by the federal government.
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”.
A top official of the NFF said they have been informed by the representatives he has yet to be paid and hope this will be sorted out this week.
“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.
Peseiro signed a year’s performance-based contract.
He will on November 17 lead the Super Eagles against his native country Portugal in a friendly in Lisbon.
