In a shocking turn of events, Finidi George has stepped down as the head coach of the Super Eagles, Nigeria’s national football team. The resignation comes after a disappointing run of games in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, which saw the team winless under George’s leadership.
George, a former Nigerian international and winger, took the reins in April 2024 but failed to secure a win in his first two matches as head coach. His resignation follows the Nigeria Football Federation’s (NFF) decision to appoint a foreign technical adviser, which would have seen George’s role downgraded .
The NFF is yet to officially comment on George’s resignation, but sources confirm that the search for a new head coach is underway. The news has sent shockwaves through the football community, with fans and stakeholders alike expressing their disappointment and concern for the team’s future .
