NFF to Offer Paul Le Guen N16.2m Per Month for Eagles Job
The Nigeria
Football Federation (NFF) is set to offer French coach Paul Le Guen a
staggering monthly salary of N16.2m, the equivalent of €44,000 for him to
accept the Eagles job.

NFF boss Amaju
Pinnick said last week that the football house was targeting a top-level coach
to prosecute the qualification campaign for the 2018 World Cup after
Nigeria were handed a nightmarish group that also features Algeria, Cameroon
and Zambia.
And Vanguard
Sports reports that Glass House officials already held talks with Le Guen
who had a successful managerial career in France, particularly leading
Olympique Lyonnais to three consecutive Ligue 1 titles.
A reliable
source in the NFF debunked rumours that a Serbian coach was coming in,
insisting that it’s already a sealed deal with Le Guen.
“Initially, we thought of getting a Serbian. We’ve since moved on and held talks with Le Guen who is enthusiastic on working with the star-studded Super Eagles. He is a gentleman and stickler for discipline”.
It is however
unclear what the position of Super Eagles interim manager Salisu Yusuf will be
in the event the Frenchman is appointed, as he already stated he’s ready for
the top job after two friendly wins with the lads last month.
