Zenith Bank To Pay Super Eagles Chief Coach Sunday Oliseh’s 5 Million Naira Salary For One Year

Zenith Bank  Chairman, Jim Ovia

NFF president Amaju Pinnick has disclosed Zenith Bank PLC have agreed to foot the salary of Nigeria coach Sunday Oliseh for a year.

Oliseh, who is on a five million Naira monthly salary (about $25,000), took over the Super Eagles in July.

 “Zenith Bank have undertaken to pay Oliseh’s salary for a year. This will take a lot of burden off the federation,” disclosed Pinnick.

“The bank has also sponsored the country’s top referees for refresher courses in London.”

Cash-strapped NFF have often struggled to pay the country’s coaches as at when due with previous coach Stephen Keshi owed for several months before he was eventually paid.
