Finidi George, the Head coach of Nigeria’s Super Eagles, has resigned from his position.
George reportedly threw in the towel on Saturday, days after the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, announced moves to bring in a foreign technical adviser.
Toyin Ibitoye, former Eagles media officer, confirmed the coach’s exit on his X account.
“News just in: Finidi George @FinidiGeorge_FG has resigned from his @NGSuperEagles manager position,” Ibitoye wrote.
George, who was only appointed on April 29, 2024, to replace Jose Peseiro, whose contract expired in February, has failed to excite his employers and Nigerians during his brief period in charge of the team.
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.
