Example for NFA: Egyptian businesses to pay coach Tardelli
Egyptian businesses to pay new coach Tardelli's wages
By Timothy Collings
CAIRO, May 3 (Reuters) - An Egyptian soccer official said on Monday that new national coach Marco Tardelli's $40,000-a-month salary would be paid by local businesses.
The former Italy midfielder, whose delirious celebration after scoring in the 1982 World Cup final victory over West Germany is one of soccer's iconic images, was appointed Egypt's national coach last week.
An Egyptian Football Association board member, Viken Djizmedjian, told Reuters that Tardelli had been recruited as a response to the team's disappointing exit from the African Nations Cup earlier this year.
"The recruitment of Tardelli has been supported by the private sector," said Djizmedjian.
"It is not paid for by the Egyptian FA directly, but by private sector support. Tardelli is paid $40,000 monthly and we have collected enough now from private support for him to be paid one year's salary already. The money is in a bank account."
Tardelli had his first look at the national squad with a three-day training session, which finished on Monday.
Djizmedjian confirmed that he and the rest of the Egyptian FA Board were in charge only for an interim period and would be up for re-election later in the year.
"The board resigned after the defeats in Tunisia in the Nations Cup so we -- this board -- are only a temporary board. The elections will be in September," he said.
He agreed it was unfortunate that the decision on which nation will host the first African World Cup finals would be announced, on May 15, while the Egyptian FA Board was only an interim authority.
"We have a transparent bid," he said. "So it is not a problem. Egypt has the oldest soccer federation in Africa and we were the first to join FIFA. We hope we will be the first in Africa to host the World Cup."

So you want Nigeria to walk in lock step with the Egyptians with no mind of their own?

Since payment of wages seems to be the main obstacle to hiring a competent coach, the Egyptian example offers a way out.
We do not have to follow Egypt's lead to the letter, but it shows what can be done.
Moreover, if the money is coming from the private sector there will probably be frewer opportunities for embezzlement 9and consequently fewer cases of bonus rows between players and officials)

HERE'S WHAT I'D LIKE LOCAL BUSINESSES TO PAY FOR
A consortium, structured as follows:
1) A GK coach & assistant.
2) A defensive coach & assistant.
3) A m/f coach & assistant.
4) An attacking coach & assistant.
5) A head coach who's the overall coordinator.
And these same crew can handle the age-limited teams.
