Salisu Yusuf Set for N5M per Month Deal with NFF
Salisu Yusuf, Nigeria’s Super Eagles coach will this week put pen to paper on a new contract that will see him earn the sum of N5 million monthly.
Vanguard sources claim Yusuf was meant to sign the contract before the 2017 Afcon qualifier against Tanzania in Uyo this weekend, but top officials of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) were not in the country at the time.
“The NFF president has said he should be in Abuja this week to sign his contract,” a Glass House official.
The terms of the new deal see Yusuf act as assistant to head coach Gernot Rohr, while he’ll also be in charge of the home-based Eagles.
Then former Kano Pillars and Enyimba coach was on N2 million per month when he assisted erstwhile coaches Stephen Keshi and Sunday Oliseh.
His new deal pales in comparison to that of Rohr, as the German is on a $47,000 a month deal which is being bankrolled by an unnamed NFF partner.
Rohr, 63-year-old former Gabon and Niger coach has handpicked three personal assistants to be part of the Eagles backroom staff and they were part of Saturday’s bench when the Eagles pipped the Taifa Stars 1-0 courtesy of a late screamer from Kelechi Iheanacho.
