The anticipated monthly earnings for Finidi George in his new role as the coach of the Super Eagles are expected to range between ₦30-40 million.

Former Super Eagles media officer Toyin Ibitoye has commented on the salary expectations for newly-appointed Nigeria coach Finidi George, foreseeing a substantial remuneration package from the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).

After an interim period of nearly two months without a permanent manager, the NFF introduced Finidi George as the new head coach for the Super Eagles. With his extensive background, including experience as an assistant under former coach Jose Peseiro and recent leadership in international fixtures, Finidi’s appointment has generated anticipation and hopes for a successful tenure.

Referring to reports from Ojora Babatunde on X, Ibitoye highlighted the salary benchmarks set by previous foreign coaches, advocating for fair compensation for indigenous coaches like Finidi. “The last foreign coaches we had, one was on $48,000, the other on $70,000. How much are we going to be paying Finidi George? It shouldn’t be anything less than ₦30-40 million a month,” emphasized Ibitoye.
