Super Eagles new coach Finidi George unwilling to work with Amokachi, Amuneke as assistants


There are indications that Super Eagles head coach, Finidi George, may have rejected the choice of Daniel Amokachi and Emmanuel Amuneke as his assistants.

Finidi’s appointment was confirmed by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) this week.

There is, however, still the need to appoint his assistants and other members of the backroom staff members.

Amokachi and Amuneke were among the two names reportedly penciled down as assistant coaches to the new gaffer.

The duo also applied for the Super Eagles head coach job.

Finidi is, however, not willing to work with either of the two, according to a report in SCORENigeria.

The 53-year-old wants to pick his own assistants rather than work with the two.

The NFF had previously announced that the new Super Eagles coach would be given the free hand to pick his assistants.
