BREAKING: Finidi George Resigns As Super Eagles Head Coach

Finidi George resigns as the head coach of the Super Eagles, following the NFF’s plan to hire a foreign technical adviser.

His brief tenure included a 1-1 draw with South Africa and a 2-1 loss to Benin Republic in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.

Finidi George has stepped down from his role as the head coach of the Super Eagles.

The decision came just days after the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) announced plans to hire a foreign technical adviser.

Former Eagles media officer, Toyin Ibitoye, confirmed Finidi’s resignation on his X (formerly Twitter) account, stating: “News just in: Finidi George @FinidiGeorge_FG has resigned from his @NGSuperEagles manager position.”

Finidi was appointed on April 29, 2024, following the expiration of Jose Peseiro’s contract in February.

Despite his brief tenure, he managed a 1-1 draw against South Africa and suffered a 2-1 defeat to Benin Republic in the 2026 World Cup qualifying series.
