The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) executive committee has officially accepted the resignation of Finidi George as the Super Eagles coach.
Initially, the NFF had not accepted the resignation due to the letter being unsigned, but the corrected document has since been signed and distributed to all committee members.
Finidi George decided to step down from his role after the NFF’s decision to appoint a foreign technical adviser to oversee the Super Eagles’ technical crew.
In his resignation letter to NFF President Ibrahim Gusau, Finidi expressed that he would prefer to resign in light of these changes, which included several personnel he had personally selected for the team.
An official statement regarding Finidi’s resignation was anticipated after the Sallah holidays, according to reports from ScoreNigeria.com.
The NFF has announced plans to hire a new coach before the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers commence in the first week of September.
This move aims to ensure that the Super Eagles are well-prepared for the upcoming qualifiers and future competitions.
