Jose Peseiro: NFF Chiefs Worried About the Monthly Salary of the Super Eagles Coach

• Jose Peseiro currently ranks among the highest-paid coaches in Africa
• The Super Eagles handler is on a 70 000 US dollars monthly salary
• NFF chiefs are said to be worried over the amount and they want a review

Super Eagles coach Jose Peseiro is among the highest-paid coaches in Africa and that is said to be worrisome for the Nigerian Football Federation chiefs who have not handed him a new contract.

Peseiro's contract expired at the end of June, but the Portuguese is still in charge of the three-time African champions as the NFF chiefs are yet to make their final decision about his future.

The 63-year-old was hired as coach of Nigeria after the Super Eagles' failure to qualify for the 2022 World Cup losing the playoffs against Ghana.

Peseiro recently qualified the Super Eagles for the 2023 African Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast with one game left in the qualifications.

According to reports on Complete Sports and Buddies, the NFF source explained that the football ruling body are now looking at many options.

NFF source speaks about Peseiro

“The NFF made enquires about what other federations pay their respective national team coaches and it was discovered that only a couple of national team coaches in Africa earn more salaries than our own Peseiro. How the Portuguese coach was contracted with too many privileges is disturbing and we may have to revisit the contract.

“We may have to sit down with Peseiro and talk over the salary issues after our last AFCON qualifying match against Sao Tome and Principe in September. We may also look at other options ahead of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in November.”
