NFF pledges bonus for Eagles over Zambia win

Super Eagles will get their win bonus of $5,000-a-man for the victory in Zambia last month, while coach Gernot Rohr will finally get his salary for two months’ this week.
The leadership of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) had promised the Eagles they would be paid their win bonus for the World Cup qualifier in Ndola before the match against Algeria.
An official informed: ”The Eagles bonus for the win in Zambia is ready and they will be paid before Saturday’s match against Algeria.”
It was further gathered that the secrecy that has shrouded Rohr’s $47,000-a-month salary will be partly put to rest this week when he is paid for his first two months of work.
The Franco-German coach deflected a question regarding the payment of his salary during a press conference last month in Abuja before the match in Zambia.
The former Gabon and Niger coach simply said it has never been in his place to discuss finances in public.
“Rohr will be paid this week,” disclosed another top official.
NFF president Amaju Pinnick has claimed he has secured a company to foot the bills of Rohr, but the identity of this sponsor remains a mystery even to Pinnick’s fellow NFF executive committee members.
