NFF appoints Finidi as new coach of Nigeria’s Super Eagles

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has announced former Super Eagles winger Finidi George as the substantive head coach of the senior national football team, Super Eagles. He will assume the position left vacant after Jose Peseiro’s contract expired in March.

The NFF made this known via a letter sent out by the communications officer Ademola Olajire who confirmed that Finidi will be in charge of the Super Eagles as they restart World Cup qualifiers in June.

Finidi George assisted former coach Peseiro for 20 months during which the Eagles reached the final of the recently concluded AFCON in Ivory Coast.
