The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) is poised to unveil Finidi George as the new head coach of the Super Eagles on Monday. The much-anticipated unveiling will take place during a media briefing in Abuja.
Finidi George, aged 53, was appointed as the successor to Jose Peseiro two weeks ago, following an impressive stint as the assistant coach of the Super Eagles for 20 months. Prior to his appointment, Finidi demonstrated his coaching prowess by leading Enyimba to victory in the Nigeria Premier Football League last season.
As a former Ajax winger renowned for his technical acumen and footballing expertise, Finidi brings a wealth of experience to his new role. His successful tenure at Enyimba highlights his ability to navigate the complexities of football management and deliver results on the pitch.
Despite departing Enyimba mid-season, Finidi leaves the club in contention for the league title, with a chance to retain the championship. Enyimba currently sits in third place in the standings, trailing leaders Enugu Rangers by four points with six rounds of matches remaining in the campaign.
The unveiling of Finidi George marks an exciting new chapter for the Super Eagles, as the NFF looks to harness his leadership and tactical prowess to guide the national team to greater success on the international stage. Fans and stakeholders eagerly anticipate the official introduction of Finidi as he takes on the challenge of leading Nigeria’s footballing aspirations to new heights.
