Tension has taken over the Super Eagles’ camp as Daniel Amokachi remains absent, mere days before the 2026 World Cup qualifier against South Africa.
Amokachi’s absence has raised questions about his role as one of Finidi George’s assistant coaches.
However, sources tell Daily Post that he has rejected the contract offered by the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF.
This comes amid speculations that Amokachi and Finidi are not on good terms.
Amokachi was one of the assistants announced by the NFF alongside Benjamin James, Olatunji Baruwa, Chima Onyeike, and Mehmet Ozturk.
But there are suggestions that the NFF imposed Amokachi on Finidi.
This led to NFF President, Ibrahim Gusau, debunking the rumours.
“I am very happy when we unveiled Finidi to Nigeria.
“The NFF Technical Director put all the names on the list and they chose the best they felt would work.
“All the names you saw as assistants to Finidi were chosen by him,” Gusau said.
