Super Eagles coach; Stephen Keshi has opted to now pay his Togolese assistant; Valere Houandinou, who was affected by a backroom shake-up.
Valere, who also worked with Keshi to qualify Togo to the 2006 World Cup, was recently laid off by the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF).
Coach Keshi has decided to shoulder the burden of paying Valere’s salary after the NFF said it was running low on funds to carry the huge wage bill of the super eagles.
The NFF claimed its burden is huge as it has to cater for national teams including development of football from the grassroots.
