Finidi George Clarifies Reasons for Stepping Down as Super Eagles Head Coach
The 53-year-old coach, Finidi George, has officially resigned from his position as head coach of the Super Eagles, submitting his resignation to the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) on Saturday.
George’s decision comes shortly after the NFF announced plans to introduce a foreign technical adviser to collaborate with Finidi.
Shortly after the announcement, former Eagles media officer Colin Udoh shared a video on social media confirming that he had spoken with Finidi regarding his decision.
“Finidi confirmed to me that he resigned his position indeed,” Udoh said.
“The reason being that he met with the NFF on Thursday and they had a very good conversation.
“They spoke about the things they need to do going forward and he (Finidi) asked if he will be back.
“At no point during that meeting did anyone tell him they were going to appoint a foreign technical adviser.
“The NFF board had met on Wednesday and made that decision. But it was when Findi landed in Port Harcourt after that meeting that someone called him and informed him. He (Finidi) had to park his car and read the link to see that it actually was true.
“So he waited for two days to see if anyone would contact him but nobody spoke to him. So he (Finidi) felt they didn’t want him anymore and so he decided to turn in his resignation.”
