Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) and Samson Siasia meeting ended in a stalemate Wednesday night as they could not finalize what the take home pay of the new manager the Super Eagles will be.
Daily Sunsport can report exclusively that after they agreed to offer Siasia a four-year deal that would culminate in his taking the Super Eagles to the Africa Nations Cup and World Cup, talks broke down when the national Under-23 team’s former coach tabled his financial demands to the executive committee of the NFF.
An impeccable source close to the NFF disclosed that Siasia asked to be paid N15 million monthly and One million USD as sign on fees aside an official quarters and an official car. The NFF told him that his demand was too much and far out of what they could afford, explaining to him that the foreign coaches who were employed in the last three years were paid by GLO and PTF.
“We told him that that he had to reduce his demands drastically if he really wanted to coach the Super Eagles as the NFF cannot afford such huge amount. He refused to shift ground and we had to excuse him to leave since he was travelling with Heartland FC of Owerri for an African Champions league match in Egypt.
“In principle, we have agreed to give him the job but we shall continue the negotiation on his salary and sign on fee when he comes back from Egypt. I must also tell you that he impressed us at the discussion and we believe he would deliver, if he agrees to tour terms” our source said.
NFF Vice President, Obinna Ogba, told an Abuja radio station after the meeting last Wednesday that a three-man committee had been set up to meet with Siasia to finalize the negotiation with him when he returns and gets back to the board.

It is better to spend our money on home based coach than foreign coach. If he demands that, fine let NFF give him the money afterall we have been given foreign coaches huge amount of money so while complaining on our own Siasia? I think agreeing to the sum is not the problem but let everything be put in place accordingly if and only if we want good result from our National Team.

leave siasia alone,he should be respected and given that which he desires afterall he didn"t ask for what lars lagerback was paid.Come to think of it why do we like to treat our home based officials with all sort of insult?Isit becuse he is not a foreigner or what.Please lets support our own and get the best out of the already weak super eagles.

He should be paid and given the job. His credentials speaks 4 him, this is a man who has brought honours to the nation a number of times, so, why should they (NFF) be reluctant to pay him what he asked 4? Like the young man above ritely said, if we have been paying white men so much witout getting nothing, why cant Siasia be given as much who has done so much and is still doing 4 his fatherland.

The problem with our country is not about money,its about the leaders who will always force his own players on the coaches,and they disregard for their fellow country man. Siasia needs can do it bcos he will not listen to them or colect bribe from them.
