Super Eagles gets new head coach
The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has appointed former Super Eagles winger Finidi George as the new head coach of Nigeria’s men’s national football team.
The decision follows approval from the NFF’s Technical and Development Committee.
Finidi George, 52, had previously worked as an assistant coach under José Santos Peseiro, who left after Nigeria’s strong showing at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations. As interim coach, George led the team to a 2-1 victory over Ghana, breaking an 18-year losing streak, though the team also lost 0-2 to Mali.
George’s first challenge as head coach will be guiding Nigeria through two crucial 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying matches against South Africa and Benin Republic.
These matches are critical for the Super Eagles, who are currently in third place in their qualifying group.
