Finidi George has resigned from his role as the head coach of the Super Eagles, the nation’s senior men’s national team just one month after his appointment.
This was disclosed by ex-Super Eagles media officer, Toyin Ibitoye, in a post on X on Saturday
His resignation may not be unconnected to the woeful performance of the Super Eagles in the ongoing 2026 World cup qualifiers matches.
DAILY GIST reports that the former Enyimba boss was appointed as Super Eagles coach in May.
George, is a former Nigerian international and member of the iconic 1994 Super Eagles squad that won the nation’s second African Cup of Nations title.
Nigeria have failed to win a match out of four games in the qualification series, the latest being a shocking loss to the lowly Benin Republic in their last clash
Following the development, the NFF on Thursday confirmed the search for a foreign Technical Adviser following a poor run in the WCQ.
It said the appointment of the technical adviser would come “in the coming weeks” and apologised to Super Eagles’ fans
The NFF also “expressed displeasure with the poor attitude of some of the players to the national assignment, and unanimously decided in favour of a more robust scouting programme of outstanding Nigeria-eligible players from across the four corners of the universe, who can add tremendous value to the nation’s flagship team”.
Official statement is to be released by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to confirm George’s resignation.
