Super Eagle legend, Finidi George has explained why he decided to step down as the head coach of the Super Eagles.




The 53-year-old turned in his resignation to the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, on Saturday.


This comes days after the NFF issued a statement revealing they are planning to bring in a foreign technical adviser to work alongside Finidi.


In a video posted on social media hours later, a former media officer of the Eagles, Colin Udoh, confirmed he had spoken to Finidi after his decision.


“Finidi confirmed to me that he resigned his position indeed,” Udoh said.


“The reason being that he met with the NFF on Thursday and they had a very good conversation.


“They spoke about the things they need to do going forward and he (Finidi) asked if he will be back.

“At no point during that meeting did anyone tell him they were going to appoint a foreign technical adviser.


“The NFF board had met on Wednesday and made that decision. But it was when Findi landed in Port Harcourt after that meeting that someone called him and informed him. He (Finidi) had to park his car and read the link to see that it actually was true.


“So he waited for two days to see if anyone would contact him but nobody spoke to him. So he (Finidi) felt they didn’t want him anymore and so he decided to turn in his resignation.”
