Reports reaching Stonix News has it that, few days ago, Jose Peseiro threatened to take the Nigeria Football Federation to the world football governing body, FIFA, over his unpaid six months salaries.
In an interview with BBC Sports Africa, a top official of the federation made it known that an agreement between the ministry of sports and the federation has been reached.
“We’ve heard from Mr. Peseiro’s representatives that he only received his allowances and bonuses, which is very disturbing.
