Finidi George has resigned from his position as the head coach of the Super Eagles.
According to reports, Finidi resigned on Saturday, few days after the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) announced plans to bring in a foreign technical adviser.
His exit was confirmed by former Super Eagles media officer, Toyin Ibitoye, on his X account.
“News just in: Finidi George @FinidiGeorge_FG has resigned from his @NGSuperEagles manager position,” Ibitoye wrote.
Finidi was appointed on April 29, 2024, replacing Jose Peseiro, whose contract expired in February. He had previously served as Peseiro’s assistant.
During his brief tenure, the former Enyimba boss oversaw foyr games for the Super Eagles—- a 1-1 draw with South Africa and a 2-1 defeat to Benin Republic, both in the 2026 World Cup qualifying series. He also won a friendly game against Ghana and lost the other to Burkina Faso.
