Ex-NFF Board Member Demands Equal Pay for Local Coaches After Chelle’s Raise
Super Eagles coach Eric Chelle has signed a four-year deal that doubles his monthly pay to $100,000 and adds the U-23 national team to his portfolio. Ex-internationals like Garba Lawal and Finidi George have questioned the sustainability of such a high salary and warned against overloading the coach with dual roles. They urged the federation to set clear targets for the Eagles and let local coaches manage the Olympic team. Former NFF board member Christopher Green insists that any local coach appointed in the same role should receive identical pay. He argues the job is the same regardless of nationality. This call for fairness comes as the Super Eagles prepare for AFCON 2027 qualifiers in September.
