- Finidi took the decision on Saturday, days after the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, announced moves to bring in a foreign technical adviser
Finidi George has resigned from his position as the head coach of the Super Eagles.
His exit was confirmed by former Eagles media officer, Toyin Ibitoye, on his X account.
Ibitoye wrote: “News just in: Finidi George @FinidiGeorge_FG has resigned from his @NGSuperEagles manager position.”
Finidi was only appointed on April 29, 2024, to replace Jose Peseiro, whose contract expired in February.
During his very brief tenure, the former Enyimba boss oversaw a 1-1 draw with South Africa and a 2-1 defeat to Benin Republic, both in the 2026 World Cup qualifying series.
WITHIN NIGERIA recalls that the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF had earlier announced plan to appoint a new technical adviser for the Super Eagles, who would be Finidi George’s immediate boss.
