It's been unveiled that Finidi George, the head coach of the Super Eagles, will receive a monthly salary of N15 million.
The revelation came during his media presentation at the Moshood Abiola Stadium in Abuja, attended by Sports Minister Owan Enoh. While Finidi didn't disclose his exact earnings, this announcement sheds light on his compensation package.
“I am not quite worried about earning even as much or even more than (predecessor Jose) Peseiro because what I’m getting is good enough for me at the moment. The moment I add value to what I’m here to do, the money will definitely come,” said Finidi.
According to ACLSports, the 53-year-old coach is set to receive a hefty salary of N15 million, making him the highest-paid Nigerian coach ever.
However, his five assistants will only receive allowances and bonuses.
Finidi will make his debut as head coach of the Super Eagles in an official capacity during the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier against South Africa at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo on Friday, June 7th. Following that, the team will face Benin Republic in Abidjan three days later.
