Rohr gets three months salary upfront

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has paid the salaries of Super Eagles head coach, Gernot Rohr for the next three months till July, which is the end of the 2018 FIFA World cup in Russia. Rohr is on $50,000 a month which translates into $150,000 for the three months.

Other head coaches of the various national teams presently in camp have also been paid by the NFF.

This was contained in a communique released by the NFF after its executive committee meeting in Abuja Tuesday, who also praised the Akwa Ibom State Government for releasing the Godswill Akpabio Stadium for the qualifying matches of the Super Eagles.

“Committee heaped encomiums on premium partner AITEO, for paying part of its rights fee as Official Optimum Partner of the NFF for the year 2018, which has enabled the Federation to pay all the coaches in its employ, with coaches of the Senior Men’s National Team, Super Eagles, now fully paid till the end of the 2018 FIFA World Cup,” the NFF said.

This would not be the first time that the NFF would pay the Eagles coach ahead. Last year he was paid for five months after he qualified the country for the World Cup.
