The real reason why coach of Enyimba FC of Aba Finidi George won’t be a part of the technical crew of the Super Eagles has been made known to the editorial team of OGN.
Finidi as reported by OGN won’t be part of the technical crew of the team for the AFCON 2023 qualifiers games against Guinea Bissau in Abuja and Bissau on the 24th of March and 27th respectively.
His exclusion is said to be the decision of the head coach Jose Peseiro as he was excluded from the team alongside the goakeepers trainer of the team Ike Shorunmu. However we exclusively gathered that with Finidi it was his decision to quit the team ahead of the games.
We gathered he decided on quiting the team as he hasn’t been offered a contract one year into his role as assistant coach of the team. He insist on having a valid contract else he won’t be a part of the coaching crew anymore.
It was his decision that made the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to summon second assistant of the team Usman Abdallah to join the team in camp for the game. Abdallah is also working without a contract like the other local coaches.
” Finidi wasn’t sacked. He quit the team on one condition which is he can’t continue working without a contract. Nobody should do that in a set up like the senior national team of any country. Unless that is sorted he won’t be a part of the team anymore”, a source close to the coach told OGN.
