Finidi George Resigns as Super Eagles Head Coach
(Govima Sports Report).
In a surprising turn of events, Finidi George has resigned from his position as head coach of the Super Eagles of Nigeria. This decision follows the Nigerian Football Federation’s (NFF) plan to appoint a foreign Technical Adviser for the team.
Despite the NFF’s intention for George to continue as head coach alongside the new Technical Adviser, George chose to step down to allow the incoming foreign coach to take full charge of the team.
George’s resignation comes shortly after he made headlines with his remarks about star player Victor Osimhen, stating, “I can’t beg Osimhen to play for Super Eagles” in the ongoing World Cup qualifiers. His stance on the matter highlighted the challenges he faced in managing the team.
The departure of Finidi George marks a significant shift for the Super Eagles, and there is much anticipation about who the NFF will appoint to lead the national team forward. The unfolding drama within the Super Eagles camp leaves fans and analysts eager to see the next steps in Nigeria’s football journey.
