Nigerians demand Finidi’s contract details: NFF to meet with ex-Ajax star to address queries

The nature of Finidi George’s contract situation with the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has drawn attention in the Nigerian football community, as reported by Soccernet.ng.

The Nigerian football body recently appointed the former Real Betis winger as the head coach of the Super Eagles, selecting him from a pool of applicants that included Emmanuel Amuneke.

However, the announcement lacked specific contract details, leaving many in the football community wondering about the terms of George’s appointment and the duration of his contract.

This has sparked debates over the NFF’s lack of transparency regarding the contract details and their communication with the public.

A source told Soccernet.ng that George is scheduled to meet with the NFF to address the contract situation. The meeting, reportedly set for this week, will clarify details such as his residence in Abuja, financial terms, and other contract specifics, which will then be made public.

This suggests that the NFF’s announcement of George as the new head coach was intended to quell debates within the Nigerian football community, with contract negotiations yet to be finalized in an exclusive meeting with him.

The Super Eagles of Nigeria are slated to tackle the Banfana Banfana of South Africa and Benin Republic in the continuation of their 2026 World Cup qualifiers.

Tasks lie ahead for the former Super Eagles attacker who will be aiming at steering the Nigerian team on a good course to secure their World Cup ticket since 2018.
