Olofinjana queries NFF’s one-year contract for Finidi

Former international, Seyi Olofinjana is not happy with the length of contract offered new Super Eagles head coach, Finidi George.

Finidi, who was unveiled by the Nigeria Football Federation on Monday, signed a one-year contract with the option of another year.

The 53-year-old has the mandate of ensuring the Super Eagles secure a place at the 2026 FIFA World Cup and 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.

Olofinjana stated that the one-year contract is not enough for Finidi to achieve tangible results.

“I think it’s good we have an ex-international, someone who knows what playing for Nigeria is all about, as the Super Eagles head coach.

“But does he have a lot of experience at this level? But again, the Guardiola’s of this world started from somewhere,” Olofinjana said on Supersports Monday Night Football.

“But then, can we all trust and support him? The appointment has been made, and there is no going back again.

“I think for me that trust has already been broken by giving the so-called young, inexperienced coach at this level a one-year contract. What is he going to do in a year?

“”If truly they believe in him what is happening to a four- or five-year contract and say come what may, we trust you, and whatever happens along the way, we’ll trust you.”
