NFF said there is No agreement with NNPC on payment of Super Eagles’ coach,

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) said on Wednesday that it did not reach any agreement with the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) to sponsor the salaries of the incoming Super Eagles’ Head Coach. A statement by Ademola Olajire, NFF’s Assistant Director of Communications, said in Abuja that the report of the agreement in some sections of the media was just an imagination from the writers. The statement quoted Suleiman Yahaya-Kwande, the Chairman of the NFF Media and Publicity Committee as saying that the 1.5 million dollars reported to have been secured from the agreement was also untrue. “The story is the figment of the imagination of the writers; nobody in the NFF or NNPC discussed the matter of salary of Eagles’ Coach and there is no iota of truth in it. “Of course, we will be happy if the NNPC comes into Nigeria football as we are trying to attract more corporate bodies to the game. “There has been no discussion between the NFF and NNPC over payment of the new Super Eagles’ Head Coach or technical crew,’’ the statement quoted Yahaya-Kwande as saying. It said that the process for the appointment of a new Super Eagles’ Head Coach was on with the NFF Technical and Development Committee having shortlisted some coaches for final interview. The coaches are Nigerian Salisu Yusuf, Belgian Tom Saintfiet and Frenchman Paul Le Guen. It said that the committee would interview the coaches on July 18, while announcement of the successful candidate would be made after a presentation to the NFF Executive Committee

The domestic violence case between Amber Heard and Johnny Depp is getting messier by the minute, and now they're dragging other people in the midst of their conflict. Depp apparently accused his wife of cheating on him with Billy Bob Thornton back in 2015, but the actor has completely denied all allegations. 'Our Brand Is Crisis' star Billy Bob Thornton has branded the suggestion that he slept with Amber Heard during the production of their latest movie 'London Fields' as 'completely false' according to reports from TMZ . The story is that he 'never socialized with Amber off set, other than a cast dinner', and adds that he had no on-set contact with her either, other than in a professional capacity.
