Speculations are rife that head coach, Super Eagles, Stephen Keshi will sign a N7 million per month contract deal with the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).
The deal is expected to be a 12-month contract that will elapse at the end of 2015 despite the fact that the African champions will not be at the Equatorial Guinea for the AFCON.
Keshi will now earn N7 million per month, which will culminate into N84 million by the time the contract expires next year.
His previous contract was worth N5 million which ended after the 2014 FIFA World Cup tournament in Brazil.
And one of the reasons why a deal failed to be brokered since then was the haggling over the price he wanted to be paid.
While the previous NFF board were said to have been insistent on retaining the N5million price-tag that he was paid, some reports claimed that Keshi wanted N10million, which stalled the deal and this put him at logger heads with the NFF and he was ‘sacked’.
But with the presidential intervention, he was recalled to head the Super Eagles who have failed to qualify for the AFCON tourney.
But with the turn of events of late, and also the intervention of government which saw Keshi brought back after he was dismissed in October, a truce seems to have been reached.
