Amaju Pinnick, the former President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), has expressed his support for Finidi George to become the new head coach of the Super Eagles. The NFF is yet to appoint a permanent coach for the national team after the departure of Jose Peseiro.
Former President of the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, Amaju Pinnick has backed Finidi George for the vacant Super Eagles coaching job. The Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, is yet to name a substantive head coach for the Super Eagles after declaring the position vacant last month. The NFF made the decision after erstwhile handler of the team, Jose Peseiro, left the post following the expiration of his contract.
He was at Ajax, and if you know Ajax, they believe in developmental football, where they teach you how to chest, trap, and play the ball again. So he has those virtues, and my opinion is that we encourage him. “He played two friendly games, he lost one and made negative history because Mali have not beaten Nigeria in over 40 years, and positive history because Nigeria has not beaten Ghana in over 30 years.
