Fresh facts have emerged regarding why erstwhile Super Eagles midfield enforcer, Daniel Amokachi , opted to go AWOL barely 24 hours before Nigeria's all-important World Cup qualifiers against South Africa's Bafana Bafana, The Guardian can exclusively report.
Recall that NFF President, Ibrahim Gusau, stated in clear terms that assistant national team coaches will henceforth be paid based on invitational allowances instead of receiving monthly salaries, as part of the federation’s cost-cutting efforts in the face of the country’s tough economic situation. “The problem has to do with NFF, who are not willing to offer detailed contracts to him. Amokachi demanded a contract, which Gusau and his cronies were not willing to offer.
It remains to be seen how NFF intends to paper over cracks with Da Bull, with Nigeria, needing his best brains in the dugout to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup after missing out on the last edition in Qatar.
