The coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Jose Peseiro has once again reached out to the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) over his unpaid wages, OwnGoalNigeria.com can exclusively reveal.
Since taking over as coach of the Nigerian team almost eight months ago, the Portuguese coach who wasn’t unveiled before taking over as coach is yet to be paid a penny of the sum he agreed to be paid for the duration of his one year deal.
He is on a salary of $70,000 a month but as first reported by us he hasn’t been paid since taking over. His salary also covers his three other assistants while the Nigerian coaches attached to the team are on different pay arrangements.
” Since the last time, we haven’t heard anything about the salary. We were told by November that he will be paid soon but the last time I spoke with his representatives he said nothing has been paid”, OwnGoalNigeria.com senior editor Mohammed Mowiz Suleiman revealed on Liberty Radio Kaduna during his morning show sportsride.
” He told me they sent a reminder to the NFF this week but it’s clear that it will be a bleak Christmas for Peseiro and his assistants. The excuse still remains we are working on it. It is partly not in the hands of the NFF as the sports minister in a press release said the ministry has gotten approval for the federal government to pay his salaries. So the minister is also culpable”, Mowiz rounded up saying.
