The Nigeria Football Federation is working on paying the super eagles in the Nigerian currency when matches are played in Nigeria as opposed to the payment of dollars for match bonuses whether they play in Nigeria or abroad. Footballghana.com has gathered that it was part of the decisions taken by the NFF technical committee at their meeting in Abuja on Tuesday. The committee also seeks to scrap of dollar payment to the various national teams and match-by-match bonuses as well as placing assistant coaches on part-time basis. It was also learnt that as part of measures to reduce the heavy financial burden on the NFF, only the head coaches of the various national teams will have full-time contracts, while their assistants will be on part-time basis and expected to tie down jobs with teams in the various leagues. “We believe some of these measures will go a long way to reduce the heavy financial pressure on the NFF,” an official of the NFF said.
