NFF Can’t Sustain Payment Of Foreign Coach Salaries – Akpoborie

Thedecision to use the electronic format was due to the Glass House declarationthat they don't have that financial strength to take care of certainresponsibilities such as traveling and accommodation of Le Guen, who many seeas the clear favourite to become Super Eagles manager if he's in the country.

Despitereports that a multinational company would foot for the bills of the incomingforeign manager, it is yet to be seen if they would be able to sustain it throughouttheir years of agreement.

Itis expected that Le Guen would receive a three years contract in the region of$45,000 per month in his quest to qualify Nigeria for the 2018 FIFA World Cupin Russia.

However,former Wolfsburg and Super Eagles striker, Akpoborie told soccernet.com.ng thatthe Nigeria Football Federation could be biting more than they could chew inrespect to the payment of salaries of the foreign coach.

“Iam not really bothered with the hiring of a foreign coach for the Super Eaglesthat will help qualify the team for the 2018 World Cup. However, I am moreworried with the fact that the Nigeria Football Federation could be biting morethan they can chew by depending so much on the multinational company that willpay the bills of the expatriate,” Akpoborie told soccernet.com.ng

“Thequestion is, can they (NFF) and multinational company sustain the payment ofthe foreign coach with the stipulated period of his contract? In fact, it willbe ideal for the NFF to carefully look into this matter before making a finaldecision because it will be too bad if tomorrow the yet to be named companypulls out of the deal.” he said.
