The recently appointed coach of the Nigerian Super Eagles team, Finidi George has resigned.
His resignation comes as a major surprise after the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) confirmed the search for a foreign Technical Adviser following a poor run in the World Cup Qualifiers (WCQ).
The NFF and the Minister for sports summoned Finidi to a meeting earlier this week after he lost to Benin Republic in the ongoing World Cup Qualifiers, denying Nigeria of a smooth sail to securing a place in the world cup.
At this stage, no official statement has been released by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) or Finidi George himself to confirm his resignation or regarding the reasons behind this shocking decision but it might be connected to his abysmal performance within few weeks of engagement.
His salary was also reportedly reduced as he failed to meet up to expectations.
Ex-Super Eagles media officer, Toyin Ibitoye confirmed the news in a post on X formerly Twitter on Saturday.
He wrote, “News just in. Finidi George #FinidiGeorge_FG has resigned from his #NGSuperEagles manager position.”
