The Finidi George era for the Super Eagles started with their first training session.
Nigeria’s new head coach, Finidi George, officially began his tenure with the Super Eagles as he oversaw their first training session ahead of the FIFA World Cup qualifier against South Africa. This significant moment took place in Uyo, where the former Nigerian international closely watched the proceedings from the sidelines, allowing assistant coach Chima Onyeike to lead the training drills.
During the session, Onyeike pushed the Super Eagles players through an intense workout, marking a stern introduction to the new regime. The players, including notable figures like Bayer Leverkusen’s Victor Boniface and AFCON 2023 hero Stanley Nwabali, struggled to cope with the demanding drills, signaling the heightened standards that George intends to implement.
Finidi George, a revered figure in Nigerian football, made it clear from the outset that high expectations and rigorous training would be the norm. This intense approach aims to prepare the team thoroughly for their upcoming clash against South Africa and ensure they meet the physical and mental demands necessary to secure a spot in the next year’s World Cup finals.
The session in Uyo served as a message to the Super Eagles’ big-name players: past achievements and reputations will hold little weight under George’s leadership. Instead, hard work, dedication, and a commitment to meeting the new, elevated standards will be essential. As the team gears up for the crucial World Cup qualifier, Finidi George’s presence and the intensity of the training have set a new tone for the Super Eagles, emphasizing the need for a robust and disciplined approach to reach their goals.
