Finidi George reportedly resigns as Nigeria’s Super Eagles coach.
The Nigerian football community was shocked by news of Finidi George’s resignation as head coach of the Super Eagles, the country’s senior national team. Finidi, a former Nigerian international and member of the legendary 1994 Super Eagles squad, took over the coaching role just last month. His departure, reported by OgaNla Media, throws the future of the three-time African champions into uncertainty.
Finidi George’s appointment was seen as a promising move following Nigeria’s disappointing start in the World Cup qualifiers, where they secured only one point from their first two official matches under his tenure. The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) had recently confirmed plans to hire a foreign Technical Adviser amidst concerns over the team’s performance.
No official statements have been released either by the NFF or Finidi George himself regarding the reasons behind his abrupt resignation. The 53-year-old’s decision leaves the Super Eagles without a permanent manager, prompting urgent calls for the NFF to swiftly find a replacement to stabilize the team ahead of crucial upcoming fixtures, including qualifiers for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
As this story continues to develop, more details are anticipated to shed light on the circumstances surrounding Finidi George’s departure and the NFF’s next steps in managing this unexpected leadership change within the national team setup.
