BREAKING: NFF Speaks On Sacking Peseiro
Nse Essien, a board member of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), has stated that the federation would be unable to afford compensation fees for Super Eagles Head Coach Jose Peseiro if he were to be relieved of his duties.
The Portuguese coach has faced criticism following consecutive draws against Lesotho and Zimbabwe in the World Cup qualifiers.

Despite the calls for Peseiro’s dismissal, Essien acknowledged financial constraints within the NFF that would impede the payment of compensatory fees.
“If you check the internet almost everyone is asking for the sack of the head coach. It is unfortunate that out of six points, we have just two and we have found ourselves in a precarious situation.
“When you say NFF should sack the Head coach we didn’t employ him, this regime didn’t employ him when you come to look at it it was the Sports Ministry that employed him,” he said after the draw against Zimbabwe.

In September, the 63-year-old had his tenure extended on the job after a renegotiation that resulted in a reduced contract pay of $50,000 from the initial $70,000.
However, Essien disclosed that Peseiro has yet to receive his salary, emphasizing the necessity of honoring the terms of his contract.
“Up till now, we were supposed to have paid their salaries, up till now they have not paid a dime,” he said.
“Who pays for compensation that is the situation we find ourselves in not a dime has been paid to this coach who earns about $70,000 every month.
“We have to respect Jose Peseiro’s contract. If we had the money to give to him (pay him off) we are going to relieve him. We are not happy.”
