The newly appointed head coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Finidi George will be on collision course with the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) for the first time since his appointment, OwngoalNigeria.com reports.
Finidi was told that he is free to pick his assistants but the NFF proposed some names for him to consider top of which is Emmanuel Amuneke, Daniel Amokachi, Michael Nsien and Usman Abdallah.
We gathered that Finidi wants none of the three top names proposed by the NFF but will strongly consider working with Nsien, who is the present coach of the U21 team of the United States of America (USA).
The picking of his assistant will be top of the agenda when he meets with the hierarchy of the NFF next week to formally resume as the coach ahead of the start of the qualifiers for the 2026 world cup.

We gathered the terms and conditions of his contract will also be trashed out with sources hinting that it will be a one year deal with the option of another year, based on the team performance in the world cup qualifiers and the next AFCON.
A semi final spot at the next AFCON will automatically trigger a two years extension, which will cover the period of the world cup and the next Africa Cup of Nations.
