Finidi George’s Super Eagles Exit: 3 Contributing Factors.
Finidi George’s Resignation: Key Factors
1. Poor World Cup Qualifiers Results: Finidi George’s brief stint as Nigeria’s manager saw disappointing outcomes in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. A home draw against South Africa and a loss to the Benin Republic left the Super Eagles’ World Cup hopes in jeopardy, leading to the NFF’s decision to seek a foreign technical adviser.
2. Dressing Room Discord: A public fallout with star striker Victor Osimhen highlighted deeper issues within the team. Osimhen’s Instagram rant indicated a loss of respect and support from key players, further destabilizing Finidi’s position.
3. NFF’s Technical Adviser Appointment: The NFF’s move to hire a technical adviser undermined Finidi’s authority. Feeling sidelined and seeing his influence wane, Finidi chose to resign, citing recent changes in the technical staff as a pivotal reason for his departure.
