I will not let Nigerians down – Finidi George

Finidi was appointed the new head coach of the national football team as a replacement for Jose Peseiro who left the national team after leading the Super Eagles to the final of the Africa Cup of Nations.

George had been in interim control of the Super Eagles for their two friendly matches against Ghana and Mali in Morocco last month. He guided Nigeria to a 2-1 victory over rivals Ghana to end an 18-year winless run against the Black Stars, before suffering a 2-0 defeat against Mali days later.
