‘NFF Offers Super Eagles Coach Jose Peseiro Contract Worth $50,000 Per Month’
The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has reportedly prepared a contract for the out-of-contract Super Eagles of Nigeria coach, Jose Peseiro.
Reports claimed that the new contract the NFF has reportedly prepared for Jose Peseiro will earn the Portuguese tactician a whopping $50,000 per month which is said to be the same salary he was being paid based on his previous contract.
Recall that the 63-year-old Portuguese tactician became the coach of the Super Eagles on May 15, 2022. He inherited a team that failed to go beyond the 2021 AFCON round of 16 and also failed to qualify for the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
The Portuguese tactician managed to build a team that qualified for the 2023 AFCON with ease and also took them to the final of the tournament which they lost 2-1 to the hosts, Ivory Coast.
Ahead of the tournament, reports claimed that his contract would expire after the tournament, and the NFF reportedly gave him the condition that he can only be offered a new contract if he led the Super Eagles to the 2023 AFCON semi-final.
Fortunately for the Portuguese tactician, he achieved the target and even exceeded it. But since the tournament ended on February 11, 2024, the NFF has been dragging the contract process, according to reports.
A report by Daily Post featured a quote from a source who spoke to ScoreNigeria claiming that the NFF has done its part over the new deal, and it is now left for Jose Peseiro to do his part by accepting the offer from the NFF.
“He has been offered by the NFF the same $50,000 monthly salary because that is what they can afford,” the source said.
“The ball is now in the court of the coach to accept this or reject it.
Super Eagles and Chippa United goalkeeper, Stanley Nwabali, has been dealt a devastating blow, losing his mother barely two months after the passing of his father.
Nwabali shared the heartbreaking news on X on New Year’s day, writing, “Rip mom, worst year of my life already” accompanied by tears and heartbreak emojis.
This emotional post came just hours after he shared a 2024 recap video, expressing optimism for the new year.
“2024 was a good year, we’re doubling everything in 2025. Thank you Chippa United FC. Thank you Super Eagles. Thanks to all my fans. Let’s do more!” he had written earlier.
Nwabali’s father died in November, just hours after the goalkeeper helped the Super Eagles secure a crucial point in their 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Benin Republic.
The goalkeeper’s bravery on the field was evident as he manned the goalpost despite his personal loss.
His teammates, fans, and well-wishers rallied around him, offering condolences and support.
With the loss of both parents, Nwabali joins the likes of Victor Osimhen, who has also experienced the pain of losing both parents.
Real Madrid forward, Kylian Mbappé, shared a rare glimpse of his personal life during an interview with Mouloud Achour on Clique.

On romantic love, Mbappé revealed to Le Parisien: “Yes, in the past, I have already been in love and I hope that I will be again. But currently, no.”
