BREAKING: Finidi George resigns as Super Eagles head coach

Finidi George has resigned from his position as the head coach of the Super Eagles.

It is believed Finidi took the decision on Saturday, days after the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, announced moves to bring in a foreign technical adviser.

His exit was confirmed by former Eagles media officer, Toyin Ibitoye, on his social media 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.

Better than ending in shame.

This NFF is our problem

Finidi George yes a good man but like i have said he is not prepared for the job now

Emmanuel Amunike is ripe and ready
Why the merry go round.,..

What are they afraid of ?
appoint Amunike


They are speaking grammar till Nigeria don enter aboki shit

Great news. Thank God. That guy is not fit for this huge job. Too bad he has already damaged the qualifications

After Nailing us into a very difficult corner...

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Better. This man coach Cameroon in 25games lost just Twice. Is win percentage with Cameroon national team is almost 75% . because he had white skin we should turn a blind eye. NFf I support you 100% bring Antonio conceico. Who wan use he head hit rocks make he do am


Those quoting me and saying rubbish let me remind u the last Afcon this man took Cameroon to they lost just a match, they were d highest scoring team at the afcon, they play attacking Football the stats don't lie.
.Those shouting Emmanuel Amuineke

Under 17 worldcup is not a criteria to get d super eagles job.
At Tanzania he won just 2 Games out of 8 matches
At Egyptian club he did even draw a match
Talkless of winning a game
At Zambia league he can't even win a game out of 6 matches.
OK e was assistant to Eguaveon during d last worldcup qualification Nigeria failed to qualify.
For the world cup.

Good for him.

Eeyah,dem don backlash guyman back to back.

Good riddance. Based on the performance of the National team since he became the head coach, we can all agree that he's not ready for such a high profile job.

Wrr

African Ten hag
After just two matches.
Right now i am confused btw local & foreign coach for the super eagles
But the players are not helping sha

Good riddance to bad rubbish

You lobby for a Job

Them offer u da job u no fit perform

Within a blink of an eye u don resign



Oga finidi, thank you

So can we have
Emmanuel Amunike

Is somebody afraid of him



By the way Finidi George didn't cover himself in glory


This was a team you were part of few week back, a team that became suddenly dreaded in Africa.


Once you took over ...for just 4 games the in fighting is so obvious that the boys are not playing for him

First he benched Ademola Lookman in the friendlies, a player who was our best outside Osimhen at the AFCON... which didn't go well

Then the issue of captainship in the team


Then bringing red hot Boniface in the last game and keeping him on the bench against South Africa even when we needed some offensive


And also the indiscipline in the team. Players strolling into camp at will


The he coming out to say I wouldn't beg Osimhen to play for Nigeria. Hmmm something is certainly wrong.

The Osimhen we know fights for Nigeria what could be the issue


Finidi George certainly did not manage his dressing room.

If not when player love a coach they can go to hell no matter how hot and bring him 3 points to secure a win

He need to

Shame on NFF for gambling with our 2026 WC Qualification. Finidi was never fit for that position.

But the major problem with S/Eagles is how to get the players to give their 100% best for the country.
Can Coach alone do that?

Good news...
