The Nigeria Football Federation has cleared the air on claims made in the media that it sacked two coaches of the Super Eagles technical crew, Messrs Finidi George and Ike Shorounmu.
NFF in a statement said, “As part of cost-cutting measures instituted at the beginning of the new administration, we established a rotation policy among the assistant coaches, based on the high number, which was agreed with all of them. The last time that the team had a programme, Finidi George was the person who travelled for the friendly match in Portugal. This rotation policy is only for matches. When there is a tournament, all of them will be with the team.
He knew at that time that the next trip would be that of Usman Abdallah. And he is simply taking his turn to be in the camp for the program of Super Eagles versus Djurtus of Guinea Bissau, and George will be around for the next program.
“We agree there are several challenges concerning the contracts of coaches of National Teams that we need to speedily resolve. The NFF is working on these and the issues will soon be in the past,” the statement said.
