Jose Peseiro has reportedly made it clear to the Nigerian Football Chiefs that he is ready to cut down his monthly salary for him to remain as the coach of the Super Eagles after the expiration of his one-year deal.

The Portuguese tactician was hired in May 2022 by the former NFF board shortly after the Super Eagles failed to qualify for the World Cup in Qatar.

Since Peseiro took over as the coach of the Super Eagles from Austin Eguavoen, the former Venezuela gaffer has only won three games out of eight losing five.

The new NFF board under Ibrahim Gusau is said to be struggling to get funds to run the affairs of all the national teams and they are cutting their cost.

According to the report on Soccernet, Jose Peseiro is ready to lower his salary for him to continue as the coach.

How much is Peseiro collecting?

Jose Peseiro is on a $70,000-per-month deal with the NFF chiefs.

Gift Orban hates Arsenal

Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how Nigerian striker Gift Orban who currently plays for Belgian club Gent has explained that he would love to play in the Premier League amid reports of him being wanted by Manchester United this summer.

Gift Orban has been one of the best strikers this season in Europe with the Nigerian scoring 19 goals in 19 games in what has been a great term for him so far.

Manchester United will be bolstering their squad this summer with the Red Devils looking for Napoli forward Victor Osimhen.

Osimhen could be hard for Man United chiefs to get, so they have placed Gift Orban as an alternative.

Sports Brief also reported how Premier League side Newcastle United have reportedly joined the race to sign Nigerian winger Samuel Chukwueze who currently plays for Spanish giants Villarreal.

Following his impressive performances this season for Villarreal, clubs like Real Madrid and Arsenal are said to be interested in signing the Super Eagles winger.

Frenchman Allan Saint-Maximim is set to leave Newcastle United at the end of the season and the club's chiefs see Samuel Chukwueze as a better replacement.
