M7even:


No lie you dey happy low-key not because of his predicament but because of his staunch follower who push him down our throats.

Anyways this begs the question on why his former club in spain had similar issues with him.Jibola was able to give a cover story saying his strong desires to play for Nigeria in AFCON and his port issues were the reason for the maltreatment he received. Here is another case with photo evidence , I wonder how his apogee will defend this one

lemme ooo 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I don’t understand the uproar about the 1 year deal, when Peseiro got the same everybody acted fine with it so what changed? Is it because he’s a local coach? The NFF did well abeg, if after 1 year he dey coach rubbish changing the coach will be easy

According to Fabrizio Tosin Adarabioyo is close to ing Newcastle on a free transfer

Two of the foreign assistants to new Super Eagles coach Finidi George, Benjamin James and Chima Onyeike, also have Nigerian roots.

James grew up in Ajegunle, Lagos. The Bayelsa State native featured for Shooting Stars and Stores before he moved to play in Italy and .

He has a diploma in fitness from the sports university and has worked with various top European clubs like VfB Stuttgart, PAOK and Willem II.

Finidi will also be assisted by a foreign match reader/analyst, Mehmet Ozturk.

I believe this list cos of Kelvin Akpoguma. When I saw that one of the new assistant coach is from Hoffenhiem, I knew immediately that Kelvin will be part of the list! I trust this list absolutely!
My worry is the defense. Too many new faces!
Olisa Ndah is on the list too!

ekehopp2:


Uzoho, Omeruo on the permanent way out.
Onyeamachi, and Iheanacho missing out is understandable.
No Semi Ajayi and Ademola Lookman?
I fear we are capping too many players with dual nationality while forsaking our full-bred Nigerians. Kind of unfair and like Colonial mentality.

I counted 23 here. 2 more NFL to complete List?

That list is not correct

Fitness Coach, Chime.

Benjamin James, Assistant Coach.

Wow!

Longneck:
That list is not correct

According to aclsports Finidi will receive 15million Naira while his assistants will be on pay as you go

$45m according to grapevine.

Oasis007:


$45m according to grapevine.

Very fair. Finidi has no distraction to try to be an agent.
This is great pay. Just pick the best and coach them to do the rest.

Oasis007:


$45m according to grapevine.

I doubt if NFF will pay a local coach 45k dollars per month while the wages of his assistants are still on them. The 15M naira per month is realistic.

I believe dis amount…cos nff I knw will neva pay a local coach $45k monthly …if nff can afford such,Dey would rada go for a white coach dt would accept such an amount .

Bro you're funny
So u believe a list without Lookman?

Whatever issues he have with Lookman he should go settle it that guy is the poster boy of the super eagles

Franktom247:
Joe aribo again

That high scoring midfielder in Turkey should replace him asap

Aribo play rubbish for the super eagles

lbrichman2:


The bolded is true, unfortunately for him
I hope I'm wrong but this might be the beginning of his journey to oblivion

Good talent but poor attitude which seems to be a recurring theme in all the clubs he's played for
Sad for him but he brought this on himself

The heart of man is desperately wicked. You are a wicked human walking through earth.

Amedino99:
no Npfl player? Smells like a lie.

What do we need them for

U guys want to market them for eastern European clubs?
The likes of Eze and co just give them few minutes afterwards they move to obscure leagues in Europe and we continue another round of invitee for fresh legs

The NPFL players have Chan tournament coming if they play well they'll qualify and get to prove themselves

Felix Nmecha and Karim Adeyemi could be coming

you don't get my point. I mean the list is unrealistic because there is no Npfl player there.

zuchyblink:

adeyemi's door is closed based on rules.

No Lookman. The list is as fake as wetin. Going to such battle with untested army .

Chukwueze with first degree thigh injury. His season is over!

Thank God, he was able to win the Milan fans back with his fantastic performance in the last few games he played!

Get well soon Chukwu!!

Finidi George;

“My first target is to make sure that we are in line to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup by winning the two matches against South Africa and Benin Republic. The 2025 AFCON qualifiers will soon start and we must also be prepared for those as well. I know what the NFF wants as it is boldly written in the contract, and I will work very hard to add value to the team and put myself in the position to earn even more than I will be earning from the take-off.”
 
On relationship with the players, George said: “I have always had a cordial relationship with all the players as an assistant coach. I am still the same person even as Head Coach now, only that the title has changed. There will be no controversy regarding relationships with the players. These are professional players and we have to give them what they’re used to in Europe; you don’t need to slap anyone to get him to do the right thing.
 
“I will try my best to ensure the team starts functioning properly and we start winning games again. There is no pressure on me; I have tough skin. I just want to call for your . I know this is not an easy job, but with the of everyone, we can achieve our objectives.”

I'm not comfortable having Amokachi as Finidi's first assistant or member of back room staff.

My good brother! Me self shock for myself! Seeing Kevin Akpoguma's name made me lose my critical thinking! lol!
