as the Head Coach of the Super Eagles , football stakeholders have yet counselled the former Ajax Amsterdam winger on what to do to excel in charge of the men’s senior national team, writesAs countdown towards next month’s 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers against South Africa and Benin Republic get underway, football stakeholders continue to chart the way forward for the newly employed Super Eagles Head coach Finidi...
The current General Manager of Shooting Stars Sports Club listed the antecedents of Finidi, adding that his choice as head coach was good and the answer to the call that Nigeria has quality coaches that can steer the ship of senior national team with adequate support as well as the right working environment.
“We are all solidly behind you. Though it could have been any other choice, the truth is you all deserve it. I personally pray for God’s guidance and protection as you embark on this journey,” he noted. “Congratulations to my brother, Finidi George for getting the final nod as Super Eagles head coach. Let’s join hands and wish him the best of success,” Adepoju noted in a tweet on his X account.
The NFF advertised the vacant position and invited interested coaches to apply. While several managers, both expatriates and locals, were linked with the job, it was George who ultimately secured the role. “Firstly, I want to congratulate Finidi George on his appointment as the Super Eagles coach,” Ikpeba began on the popular Monday Night Football on Super Sports. “However, it was a difficult task because we initially wanted a foreign manager. However, we settled for Finidi because of the finance. It’s not like we don’t have confidence in our own coaches back home. We thought there should be continuity in the way Peseiro took the team to the final of the 2023 AFCON.
