BREAKING: Finidi George Resigns As Super Eagles Coach
Nigerian football has been rocked by the news that Finidi George has resigned from his role as the head coach of the Super Eagles.
This bombshell comes from the reliable OgaNla Media , plunging the future of the three-time African champions into uncertainty.
This followed the decision of the NFF to appoint a foreign coach to boss him after the national team failed to win 2026 World Cup qualifiers against South Africa and Benin.
The 53-year-old coach was appointed new Super Eagles coach in May to succeed the Portuguese coach Jose Peseiro, who left the post after his contract ended in February.
He was an assistant to Peseiro for 20 months.
His demotion meant his year’s contract will be downgraded and his reported monthly salary of 15 Million Naira will be reviewed downwards to five Million Naira.
His handpicked assistants, who he worked with for the recent games against South Africa and Benin, would also not be part of the team as the new foreign coach will come with his own staff.
This past week in a meeting with Sports Minister John Enoh, Finidi said he did not enjoy the support of his employers the NFF.
He also faulted the commitment of the country’s top stars for the crucial World Cup qualifiers this month.
