President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Amaju Pinnick has reassured Nigerians of the desire of his federation to see the country qualify for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia. He said in Abuja while addressing the Journalists, Monday that the federation decision to get a quality coach has being their priority due to failure of the team to qualify for the 2017 African Cup of Nations (AFCON).
He said, the federation has secured a partnership that will pay the salaries of the coaches. "We want to avoid as much as possible the perceived mistakes that made us to miss out of the AFCON 2017. To ensure that we brought the best coach that can qualify us for the World cup, the first thing we did was to ensure we got a partner that will pay the fees of all the coaches. We sent a request of about five coaches and that was granted and the company requested we should keep every other thing under wraps for now.
"After the last AFCON failure, we started thinking of Russia and we are making efforts to pay all the coaches so that they will give their best at all times. Truly we are very desirous of qualifying for the 2018 World Cup."
