SCORENigeria has gathered from several top officials that the NFF are now open to hire a coach who they will pay $80,000 every month.
Jose Peseiro was on $50,000 monthly when his contract ran out after the recent AFCON.
It was a reduced package after his initial contract paid him $70,000 a month.
It is widely believed that the Portuguese coach did not continue on the post because he demanded for a new monthly pay of $120,000 with his employers’ best offer stopping at $80,000.
It is that figure the NFF will be ready to pay the next coach of the country’s team.
SCORENigeria first reported that as many as 40 foreign coaches have applied for the Super Eagles job.
It is understood that the NFF will decide on a new Super Eagles coach by the end of this month.
This will allow the new man enough time to prepare for crucial 2026 World Cup qualifiers against South Africa and Benin in June.
