BREAKING: Finidi George Appointed Head Coach of Super Eagles

The Nigeria Football Federation has appointed Finidi George as the new head coach of the Super Eagles, beating Emmanuel Amuneke to the job.

George, a former international player, previously served as an assistant coach under José Santos Peseiro.

Following Peseiro’s departure, George took charge of the squad in an interim capacity during two friendly matches in Morocco last month.

His immediate task is to lead the Super Eagles to victory in two crucial 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying matches against South Africa and Benin Republic.

These matches are essential as the Super Eagles currently trail behind Rwanda and South Africa in Group C of the African campaign.
