The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has denied sacking assistant coaches of the national teams.
The NFF, however, clarified that the assistant coaches would only be engaged on invitational basis for national assignments
According to the Nigerian football governing body, the development is in line with existing policy whereby only head coaches of the various teams are salaried.
NFF in a terse statement shared via X, formerly Twitter, revealed the assistant coaches will only earn invitational allowances and match bonuses when they come for national assignments.
The statement reads: “Thenff’s attention has been drawn to misleading reports in a section of the media that all Assistant Coaches of the National Teams have been sacked. This is incorrect.
“The Board has done no more than re-enforce an existing policy whereby only Head Coaches of the various teams are salaried, while Assistant Coaches are engaged elsewhere and only earn invitational allowances and match bonuses when they come for National assignments”.
