No Rohr, same issue- NFF owes new Super Eagles coach Jose Peseiro over ₦100m

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) is in the news again for the wrong reasons after it emerged that the body owes Super Eagles manager Jose Peseiro outstanding wages.

Peseiro was appointed as Nigeria's coach in May, but the Portuguese tactician has not been paid since he took over affairs.

The NFF owes Peseiro six months' salary, with the Portuguese tactician receiving only match allowances and bonuses since he took over as Nigeria's coach.

Reports claim the Portuguese tactician is entitled to over ₦100m for the six months he is being owed. However, according to reports, the NFF is in the process of paying the Portuguese tactician all his outstanding wages.

The report claims the NFF has started talks with the Ministry of Sports over the payment of Peseiro's salary, with both parties hoping there will be a solution soon.

Peseiro's situation is another case of unpaid wages involving the NFF. The Nigerian football governing body is still paying former Super Eagles manager Gernot Rohr a backlog of unpaid wages during his time as Nigeria's coach.

The German tactician took the body to FIFA over the issue, with the world football governing body ordering the NFF to pay him his full wages.

The NFF also owes Super Eagles players outstanding match bonuses, while the Super Falcons players are not left out of the disappointing situation.

It remains to be seen if the players will be paid alongside Peseiro. Meanwhile, Peseiro will lead the Super Eagles back to action on November 10 against Costa Rica before they face Portugal seven days later.
