NFF Unaware Of Finidi’s Resignation
Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) President Ibrahim Gusau has stated that he is unaware of Finidi George’s reported resignation as Super Eagles coach. This comes despite online reports claiming that George has stepped down from his position.
The rumors of George’s resignation emerged after the NFF announced its intention to hire an “expatriate technical adviser” for the Super Eagles, following the team’s poor performance in the 2026 World Cup qualifying series. The Super Eagles have secured only three points out of a possible 12, placing them fifth in Group C and jeopardizing their qualification hopes.
The NFF’s announcement has sparked mixed reactions, with some fans calling for the resignation of both the federation’s board members and Finidi George. Reports suggest that Finidi George is frustrated with the NFF leadership for not addressing key issues, such as the late arrival of players to the camp and the lack of support for the team during their recent match against Benin Republic in Ivory Coast.
However, when contacted to verify the resignation, NFF President Gusau responded, “Not yet aware,” indicating that he had not been informed of any such decision. As the situation continues to unfold, the future of the Super Eagles’ coaching staff remains uncertain, leaving fans and stakeholders anxiously awaiting official confirmation and the next steps from the NFF.
The drama surrounding the Super Eagles coaching staff has added to the already intense pressure on the team to perform. With the 2026 World Cup qualifying series hanging in the balance, the NFF must act swiftly to address the issues plaguing the team and ensure that the Super Eagles can still qualify for the tournament. Only time will tell how this situation will play out, but it is certain that the fate of the Super Eagles hangs precariously in the balance.
