In a move aimed at strengthening the Super Eagles’ coaching staff, Finidi George, the newly appointed coach of the Nigerian national team, has nominated Daniel Amokachi as his second assistant, alongside three foreign coaches for the roles of first assistant, fitness trainer, and match analyst, according to Sport Brief.

This development is coming barely a month before the Super Eagles’ crucial 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification fixtures against South Africa and the Republic of Benin.
