The Nigeria
Football Federation has denied that it has secured $1.5 million from the
Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation as funds for salaries of the incoming
Super Eagles’ Head Coach.
Chairman of
the NFF Media and Publicity Committee, Hon. Suleiman Yahaya-Kwande, said: “The
story is the figment of the imagination of the writers. Nobody in the NFF or
NNPC discussed the matter of salary of Eagles’ Coach and there is no iota of
truth in it.
“Of course,
we would be happy if the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation can come into
Nigeria football, as we are trying to attract more corporate bodies into the
Nigeria game. But there has been no discussion between NFF and the NNPC over
payment of the new Super Eagles’ Head Coach or technical crew.”
The process
for the appointment of a new Super Eagles’ Head Coach is on with the NFF
Technical and Development Committee having shortlisted Nigerian Salisu Yusuf,
Belgian Tom Saintfiet and Frenchman Paul Le Guen for a final interview.
The
committee will meet on Monday, 18th July to interview the three persons and
announce the successful candidate, after a presentation to the NFF Executive
Committee.
