NFF Set To Offer Keshi N7m/Month Contract

Now that the NFF board are scared about Keshi's departure to South Africa they are thinking of an improved deal of about seven million Naira a month (over $43,000) according to AfricanFootball.com. The question on my mind is this, who will pay better, NFF or SAFA. One thing am sure of is that SAFA will pay better allowances with better playing environment considering their World Cup pitches and of cause electricity which is what every Nigerian wants. Money might determine Keshi's next move but who will pay Keshi better NFF or SAFA???

This plan comes amid confusion whether or not Keshi has quit his post. According to the website, the NFF also have a plan B to hire a foreign coach to be assisted by a local man and this would be if Keshi turned down the new contract tabled by his employers.


Keshi was hired on a N5m a month salary in late 2011 following the sacking of Samson Siasia after he failed to qualify Nigeria for the African Nations Cup in Gabon and Equatorial Guinea, the first time since 1986.

In two years Keshi became the first Nigerian coach to win the African Nations Cup title, the first to start the qualification process and qualify Nigeria for the FIFA World Cup as well as the first Nigerian to lead the Eagles to the second round at the FIFA World Cup
