The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) Technical and Development Committee has recommended less than the N5 million that the out of contract Super Eagles Head Coach, Stephen Keshi, earned in his first stint with the team.
Keshi’s contract expired after Super Eagles crashed out of the 2014
World Cup last July in Brazil. Renewing the contract has been enmeshed
in controversy and when the technical committee deliberated on the
issue, it recommended its renewal to the board of the NFF, but less than
the N5 million he earned.
Though everybody within the football house is keeping mute on the amount recommended, sources revealed that Keshi will be offered less than what he earned before the expiration of his contract last July.
Aside the issue of wages, the coach, we learnt has been given some stringent conditions aimed at frustrating him from taking the job.
“There is serious financial meltdown and we can only offer him what is realistic in line with the realities of the time,” the source said on Wednesday.
“The terms of contract are well spelt out and we cannot reveal them until both parties have agreed to it,” the source added.
Confirming the above, the technical committee head, Felix Anyansi Agwu, said that Keshi must be ready to comply with the federation’s term of reference, if he hopes to continue as Eagles coach, saying, many things would still have to be taken into consideration for things to work smoothly.
“We are not recommending that Keshi should get the job on the platter but that he must abide by the term of reference he would be given,” Anyansi told Goal.
“We don’t want Nigerian football to suffer and hence our decision to recommend that Keshi continues from where he stopped for continuity sake.
“There is still a long road to his appointment and he must show in all sincerity that he wants the job.”
