Zenith Bank to pay Oliseh’s salary for one year

The President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Amaju Pinnick, has revealed that Zenith Bank will pay the salary of Super Eagles coach, Sunday Oliseh, for a year.

Oliseh took over the national team in July, on a deal that ensures he reportedly earns N5million a month.

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

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

Cash-strapped NFF have in the past struggled to pay the national team coaches.
