Finidi George has revealed the reason behind his decision to quit his role as head coach of the Super Eagles.
The 53-year-old submitted his resignation letter to the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) on Saturday, following the announcement that the NFF would hire a foreign technical adviser to manage the team.
In a video posted on social media, former media officer of the Eagles, Colin Udoh, confirmed he had spoken to Finidi after the decision.
“Finidi confirmed to me that he resigned his position indeed,” Udoh said.
He explained that Finidi had a productive meeting with the NFF on Thursday where they discussed the team’s future, but at no point was he informed about the decision to appoint a foreign technical adviser.
Finidi only learned about the decision after landing in Port Harcourt, when someone called him with the news.
He verified the information by reading an online report. After waiting for two days without any communication from the NFF, Finidi felt unwanted and decided to submit his resignation.
