Amokachi’s absence has sparked questions regarding his position as one of Finidi George’s assistant coaches.
Sources revealed to DAILY POST that 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.
