French coach, Herve Renard, has reportedly demanded a whopping sum of $125,000.00 (N180 million) as monthly salary to coach the Super Eagles.
A competent source close to the Nigeria Football Federation hinted that the football house has opened negotiations with the 55-year-old gaffer and Belgian coach Tom Saintfiet, who is the current head coach of the Philippines national team.
Our source also disclosed that the NFF may pull out of negotiations with Renard due to his high demands.
The NFF, we gathered, struggled to pay Jose Peseiro’s $50,000 monthly salary and are still battling to also pay Super Falcons coach, Randy Waldrum less than $20,000 per month.
