Former Super Eagles forward and Assistant Manager to Jose Peseiro, Finidi George, was officially unveiled as the 41st manager of Nigeria’s national football team, the Super Eagles, on Monday in Abuja.
Present at the unveiling were the Minister of Sports Development, John Enoh, and the leadership of the Nigeria Football Federation, led by Ibrahim Gusau. Though details of the contract were not explicitly revealed, it is thought to be for an initial 12-month period, which may coincide with the next Nations Cup tournament in Morocco.
“As a student of the University of Calabar in those days, I used to go to the UJ Esuene Stadium to watch Calabar Rovers, which included Finidi George. I am excited to see him seated here as the new Head Coach of the Super Eagles,” stated Mr Enoh.
