As part of efforts to hire a sound foreign coach for the Super Eagles, the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) may have secured about US$1.5 million bond for the payment of the salary of the would- be tactician.

Sports Vanguard gathered from reliable sources at the federation that the NFF secured the sponsorship from an undisclosed oil company to guarantee the continuous payment of the coach’s salary for at least two years.

“I can confirm to you that the NFF is serious about qualifying the country for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia. And to that effect, we have already secured a US$1.5 million sponsorship bond. What we are waiting for now is to get the confirmation regarding the fund and as soon as we get that, you will know the organization that is partnering us in this noble objective.”

According to Vanguard, the NFF is ready to part with about $50,000 dollars as monthly salary for the coach which will also cover the payment of any other foreign coach he may want to bring along.
