The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), on Monday, at the Sunday Dankaro Football stadium, will formally present to the public, Finidi George, as the new substantive Head Coach of the senior men’s national football team, the Super Eagles.
Expected at the unveiling ceremony are the Minister of Sports Development, Senator John Owan Enoh, the Permanent Secretary in the ministry, Mrs Tinuke Watti, President of NFF, Alhaji Ibrahim Musa Gusau, NFF General Secretary, Dr Mohammed Sanusi and other prominent personalities and dignitaries.
Finidi has been the coach of two-time CAF Champions League winner Enyimba FC where he won the Nigerian league last season.
Sporting Tribune recalls that the former Ajax Amsterdam winger spent 20 months as assistant to Portuguese José Peseiro from the summer of 2022 during which the Super Eagles qualified for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations winning a silver medal in the final against the host nation and eventual winner, Cote d’Ivoire.
He won 62 caps for Nigeria at senior level, during which he won the Africa Cup of Nations gold, silver and bronze, and played in two FIFA World Cup finals.
He will be leading the Super Eagles to 2026 World Cup qualifying matches against perennial rivals, South Africa (home) and Benin Republic (away) in June.
