2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifier: Tension in Super Eagles Camp as Daniel Amokachi Fails To Assist Finidi George

The Super Eagles of Nigeria camp is facing uncertainty and tension as Daniel Amokachi remains conspicuously absent, just days ahead of their crucial 2026 World Cup qualifier clash against South Africa.
Infoexpert24 understands that Coach Finidi George will have his first major test as the coach of the Super Eagles of Nigeria when South Africa visits Uyo for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers matchday three.
Amokachi’s absence has sparked questions regarding his position as one of Finidi George’s assistant coaches.
According to verified sources, Amokachi has declined the contract presented by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).
This arises amid speculation that Amokachi and Finidi have a strained relationship.
The NFF had named Amokachi as an assistant coach alongside Benjamin James, Olatunji Baruwa, Chima Onyeike, and Mehmet Ozturk.
Despite suggestions that the NFF forced Amokachi on Finidi, NFF President Ibrahim Gusau has dismissed these rumors.
“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.
