With the unveiling of new Super Eagles head coach Finidi George on Monday morning, details of the contract signed by the former Ajax star has been scooped by www.aclsports.com
Finidi, 53, was introduced to members of the press at the Conference Room of the Moshood Abiola Abuja National Stadium in a ceremony attended by the Honourable Minister for Sports Owan Enoh and the big wigs of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) led by President, Ibrahim Musa Gusau.
When asked what the financial details of his contract is, Finidi was coy, stating that the money will definitely come and in his words:
“I am not quite worried about earning even as much or even more than (predecessor Jose) Peseiro because what I’m getting is good enough for me at the moment. The moment I add value to what I’m here to do, the money will definitely come,” said Finidi.
THE IMPORTANT DETAILS
ACLSports can exclusively report that Finidi George who represented Nigeria in four Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournaments and two World Cup tournaments as a player has been given a two-year contract which is expected to run till after the 2026 FIFA World Cup to be co-hosted by United States of America, Canada and Mexico.
Finidi has picked his 1994 Super Eagles mate Daniel Amokachi as one of his assistants with Olatunji Baruwa retaining his role as goalkeepers’ traininer having served with Finidi under Jose Peseiro. They will be joined on the technical bench by Benjamin James – the second assistant, Chima Onyeike (Fitness Trainer) and Mehmet Ozturk (Match Analyst).
While the NFF stated explicitly that there are no salaries for the assistants except for match allowances and other bonuses, ACLSports scooped authoritatively that as stated in the contract papers, Finidi will earn N15,000,0000 (fifteen million nairas) monthly, making him the highest paid indigenous coach ever in Nigeria.
FIRST ASSIGNMENT
Finidi will lead the Super Eagles out for the first time in substantive capacity when Nigeria face South Africa in a crucial 2026 World Cup qualifying game at the Nest of Champions, Uyo on June 7.
The Eagles will follow it up with a date with Benin Republic in Abidjan three days later. Nigeria currently have two points from their opening group games in the qualifying race for the next mundial.

Reports say he gets $45.000.00/month. That should be huge.

Re: Finidi George's Wages?.....Interesting.
Erhmmm, that's N150 million there, which is way more than Peseiro got. Kudos to the NFF for paying a local coach more than a foreign coach for once...

That said, will they pay the guy the said amount? NFA is notorious in owing salary to oyinbo, how much more a local coach.

The only plausible conclusion here is that Finidi’s salary is undisclosed. Everything else is pure conjecture

CORRECT...Consistency and accuracy are not their hallmark. Owngoal is reporting that Benjamin James was born in Nigeria but from is own mouth the man was born in Ghana. Secondly, many refer to the new coach as Finidi (his first name), instead of George, his last name, which is the unofficial convention of referring to people.mcal wrote: ↑Mon May 13, 2024 9:23 pm...na so official govt web sites dey confuse people especially the immigration, embassy, and visa thing.delisyomie don wrote: ↑Mon May 13, 2024 7:45 pm our people like confusing us, which one is $45,000 monthly and n15,000,000 naira or 150,000,000 naira why can our government be just straightforward or the paper[press trying to mislead us] like one telling us one thing and another?

1. What was Fela's last name and what do people call him?
2. What name does Finidi usually wear on the back of his jersey (not always, but more often than not)?

Re: Finidi George's Wages?.....Interesting.
I never understand why the press publishes details of someone’s salary. Surely that is confidential information under the contract?
The other bit of news that concerns me is Amokachi’s presence in the coaching team. His “analysis”
(if gisting like a guy in a bar deserves the name) while commentating at the AFCON showed he has gaps in his tactical knowledge large enough for a truck convoy to drive through.

Re: Finidi George's Wages?.....Interesting.
I am pretty sure Amokachi was forced on him. Otherwise , he, Amokachi has no business being on the coaching team. Secondly, maybe that's why Finidi has his own Assistant and Match Analyst!!wiseone wrote: ↑Tue May 14, 2024 7:32 am I never understand why the press publishes details of someone’s salary.

Amokachi as usual, used political connections with Northern politicians to get the job.
That has been his modus operandi since the Abacha and Al-Mustapha days. He always loiters around the SE camp anytime they’re in town.
I hope Finidi doesn’t allow him to sell merchandise to the players.

Kpom! The guy offers nothing. Let’s not forget that he forced his way into that 98 WC team despite having a serious knee injury. The guy was basically on one leg.Dammy wrote: ↑Tue May 14, 2024 8:21 am Amokachi as usual, used political connections with Northern politicians to get the job.

In football, even private clubs and national teams publish salaries of players and coaches. Go online and type in a players name and "salary" and you will know how much they earn.
