NEWLY appointed Head Coach of the Super Eagles of Nigeria, Finidi George has reacted to reports that he would be paid a basic salary of N66 Million for his job.
The Nigerian Football Federation, NFF, unveiled the former winger on Monday, as reports emerged that he was set to earn between 15 million naira to 66 million naira in charge of the team.
However, the new Super Eagles Boss, speaking to the media moments after he was unveiled in Abuja, downplayed the report of the payment and insisted he is not concerned about the financial details for now.
“'I m not quite worried about any [salary], even as much or more than what [Jose] Peseiro was earning,” Finidi stated in a video by Footballtemple.
”You know, I think what I'm getting is good enough for me at the moment. The moment I add value to what I am going to do, I think the money will come,” he added.
The 53 years old first target is to ensure they qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup as he would be working along side Daniel Amokachi as his Assistant Coach.
