Finidi George may retain Super Eagles’ head coach job, work under foreign technical adviser


Under-pressure Super Eagles’ coach, Finidi George, may escape sack after all, according to reports quoting a source close to the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).

 He would, however, work under the foreign technical adviser that the football governing body is planning to hire in a couple of weeks.

  The source, who was privy to the Wednesday’s ‘hybrid mode’ meeting of the NFF said that Finidi George will be designated as ‘Chief Coach’ while the expatriate will be the technical adviser.

It is, however, unclear how the NFF will foot the wage bill of the technical adviser, who may also come with his personal crew as Finidi George  also already havshis own foreign assistants.

There is also no word on the absence of Daniel Amokachi, who was designated as Finidi George’s assistant, but failed to show up at the Super Eagles’ camp leading to the ill-fated World Cup match encounters with South Africa and Benin Republic.
