Finidi George has quit as head coach of the Super Eagles.

 

Various sources confirmed the resignation of the former Ajax winger on Saturday.

 

Finidi took the decision following the Nigeria Football Federation decision to appoint a foreign coach to boss him after the national team failed to win 2026 World Cup qualifiers against South Africa and Benin.

 

The 53-year-old coach was appointed Super Eagles head coach in May.

 

He was an assistant to former head coach Peseiro for 20 months.

 

His demotion meant his year’s contract will be downgraded and his reported monthly salary of 15 Million Naira will be reviewed downwards to five Million Naira.

 

The NFF is expected to appoint a technical adviser for the Super Eagles in the coming weeks.
