Finidi George has resigned from his position as the Head Coach of the Super Eagles, two days after a meeting with the Nigeria Football Federation hierarchy.

The NFF had stated in a communique that Finidi would work with a soon-to-be hired Technical Adviser following Nigeria’s poor run in the 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers.

As per Colin Udoh, the 58 year-old former player was not informed officially of the decision to reassign him in the team’s coaching rank, during the meeting nor was he told afterwards.

He found out after his arrival in Port Harcourt on Thursday, in the NFF Communique issued that day.

Appointed just two months ago, Finidi’s tenure saw the Super Eagles struggle in their FIFA World Cup qualifiers.

The team managed only a 1-1 draw against South Africa and suffered a 2-1 defeat to Benin in Abidjan.

These results have left the Super Eagles fifth in the table, with only three points from four matches – following two previously draws against Zimbabwe and Lesotho.

The three-time African champions currently trail Rwanda, South Africa, Benin Republic, and Lesotho in Group C.
