Why Amokachi rejected Super Eagles Assistant Coach position

Former international Emmanuel Babayaro has leapt to the defence of Daniel Amokachi for rejecting “demeaning” terms to serve as Super Eagles assistant coach.

According to Babayaro, Amokachi rejected the post after he was recently presented by the NFF with the job conditions, which included no salary and his involvement with the team will be based on the discretion of the head coach.

“Amokachi was appointed Super Eagles assistant coach under these conditions –

No salary and his appearance in any Super Eagles engagement is on needs basis and subject to the head coach’s discretions,” claimed Babayaro.

“How demeaning can these conditions be?

“Amokachi said yes to the appointment as the Super Eagles assistant coach but an emphatic no to the demeaning conditions attached thereto.

“And yes, the conditions were only just communicated recently.”

Babayaro was critical of comments surrounding the situation Amokachi with the Super Eagles because they lacked the facts.
