The Nigerian men football team, Super Eagles’ coach, Finidi George, has stepped down.
This was made known by former Super Eagles media officer, Toyin Ibitoye, in a post on X.com on Saturday.
He wrote, “News just in. Finidi George #FinidiGeorge_FG has resigned from his #NGSuperEagles manager position.”
This follows the Nigeria Football Federation’s (NFF) decision to appoint a foreign coach to oversee the team’s affairs.
He took the reins after Jose Peseiro’s contract ended in February, after serving as his assistant for 20 months.
However, the team’s disappointing performance in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers against South Africa and Benin led to his demotion.
