The Super Eagles of Nigeria is set to prosecute the double header AFCON qualifier against Guinea Bissau without the services of two assistant coaches Ike Shorunmu who is the goalkeeper trainer and Finidi George who is an assistant to Jose Paseiro
According to a post monitored on Newstap.com.ng, both coaches have been told not to bother to report to camp by the Nigeria Football Federation ( NFF).
While it is not yet clear why Finidi was told to stay away, Shorunmu on the other was told it was Jose Peseiro that wanted him not to be part of the game.
Peseiro, we gathered, said he would prefer to work with Flying Eagles goalkeepers trainer, Baruwa.
Efforts made to reach Finidi proved abortive, but Shorunmu when contacted confirmed the development.
“What you heard is true. In fact, I have been called by the NFF on the situation. I was told not to bother to go to camp. They told me it was Peseiro who didn’t want me to be part of the game. But as we speak, I have not heard from Peseiro himself,” Ike Shorunmu said.
