Even though he is been regarded as the cheapest option available, the newly-announced Head Coach of the Super Eagles, Jose Peseiro will be smiling to the bank with over N29m monthly salary credible reports suggest.

After over five months of dillydallying, the NFF on Sunday confirmed the appointment of Peseiro but tactically avoided making public the contents of his contract.


However, some details of the contract agreement between the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) and the newly announced Head Coach of the Super Eagles have been made public by PREMIUM TIMES.

The paper reports the 62-year old will receive $70,000 monthly (over N29m) from which he would pay his two incoming personal assistants.

It was also reported that the NFF is signing just a year’s deal with Peseiro with an option for another year depending on how things turn out in the initial 12 months.

Among other clauses in his contract, Peseiro is expected to watch 60 per cent of domestic league games as he has been mandated to discover homegrown talents for the national team.

Peseiro, 62, has wide and varied experience coaching top clubs and national teams across four different continents, namely Europe, Asia, Africa and South America.
 
An educationist with a degree in physical education/sports sciences, Peseiro has top-level coaching qualifications/training and has coached at Sporting Lisbon, FC Porto, Panathinaikos, Rapid Bucharest, Sporting Braga, Victoria Guimaraes, Al-Hilal, Al-Wahda, Al-Ahly Cairo, Sharjah FC and Real Madrid (assistant coach during the Galacticos era), as well as serving as Head Coach of the Saudi Arabian and Venezuelan National Teams.
 
 
Peseiro is expected to lead out the Super Eagles for the first time during the upcoming tour of the United States of America, during which the three –time African champions will slug it out with Mexico and Ecuador ‘A’ Teams in prestige friendlies. The Eagles will tango with the El Tri at the AT & T Stadium in Dallas, State of Texas on Saturday, 28th May before flying to New Jersey to confront Ecuador at the Red Bull Arena in Harrison on Thursday, 2nd June.
