Keshi Blasts NFF Over Unpaid Salaries

Nigeria coach
Stephen Keshi has lamented over the non-payment of his salary arrears, describing it as the lowest point of his coaching career.
The Super Eagles coach and his backroom staffs have not been paid their salaries for over seven months, leaving the former coach of Togo and Mali senior national teams disappointed.
“The lowest point of my career is working and not being paid for seven to eight months, I have never had this kind of experience before,” Keshi told newsmen after a training session of the Home-based Super Eagles in Abuja.
Keshi was reacting to a statement credited to the Nigeria Football Federation in which they said that  the allowances and bonuses the team’s coaches earn were enough to sustain them.
“In Mali, they will never owe you; your salary will hit your account before the end of every month. It was the same thing in Togo,” he said.
“Owing me up to seven months makes me feel I am not being appreciated, it is like they think I am being favoured in what I am doing.
“I am not being favoured. Whatever I am doing here, I am doing it with everything I have and I need to be respected to be given my pay.”
