I think they should give him a chance.

This George will use super Eagles players to make money. I don't think his selection will go down well with some super Eagles players. NFF had put a lot of super Eagles fans in suspense. Finidi George is not ripe enough for the super Eagles jobs. If he wants to succeed, he need to go to Europe and look for experts in football for more technical input. The way he played our match against Mali shows he was not competent enough to handle super Eagles match. Lookman was bench up till fifteen minutes to go.

Oduduwa Nation to the world I wish him all the best in his new adventure

Don't be silly, he is south south

What infantile nonsense is this?

Congratulations to him.
U guys should give him full control of the team without any interference.
So that we will know what we had it wrong

Shattuck:
Wrong move, Samson siasia is the only proven local coach for now who can handle the eagles, if the NFF really care why not wait till siasia ban is over and negotiate with him, and have finidi George as assistant and interim coach, at least siasia has been proven, tested and trusted, and he play attacking football too.

eguavoen is a better coach,aside siasia

Better choice than that yeye Portuguese.....

Siasia still Dey chop ban

mohbadliveson:
Amuneke should assist him.

As a former foreign based player, i hope he won't reject naira as salary

Amuneke is a world class coach. Can't say the same for Finidi George.

Congratulations to you @Mr. Finidi George.

Freshtruth:


You all are just shouting Amunike up and down do u know amuineke just won just 2 games in his whole Tanzanian coaching career? In went to Egypt he didn't win a match he went to zambia league can't win a match if u want to say under17 then Manu Garba is also qualify to coach eagles too

You didnt add Sudan, where he also got fired..poor cv..did nothinh with ocean boys and julius berger. At least Finidi had won the league with Enyimba

Amunike has a more impressive coaching cv...

The greed of ibos is too much.
You and your blodas always think every position should be occupied by your kinsmen

Amunike is only a world class according to biaflan standards

Freshtruth:
Make we just forget 2026 world cup qualifiers exactly the same mistake that happen 3years ago is playing out. The south Africans finish third they stick with their coach that is consistency . Nigeria coach is been pick base on sentiment and crave for local coach

That's unfair criticism and a neo-colonialist mindset.

Give him time to proove himself.
Guardiola, Arteta, Alonso, Gerard, Rooney e.t.c were players of good quality like Finidi George who have gone on the be given good platforms in their host continent. We should support the right local coaches to build their skill.

Its disgraceful whenever I watch AFCON and see litany of European coaches dotting the bench. Is it that we dont have good ex-players or coaching staff? Afterall, the last AFCON proved we have good refs and the most successful coach at AFCON was an African.

happney65:


Mutiu Adepoju is called "The Headmaster" Not Finidi George. Anyways,I wish him a successful career as Coach

Thank you, I mixed that up.

I should have said he's more experienced than Finidi.

Jamesclooney:
Good news!
I’m just happy it’s a Nigerian coach, not some foreigner fleecing from our scarce forex!

see your myopic reasoning the foreigners has done well than ur so called local coaches for the past 10years

Winning123:


I agree with you! He has no track record.

It`s so disheartening to see a blessed country like Nigeria having leadership problems in every sector. Pple that know nothing abt sport controlling our sport ministry. Round peg in square hole is the bane of our national development. Finidi George and his coleagues shud be the ones controlling our sport ministry nd appointing the right coaches for our national teams.

Finidi's Enyimba are not really raising the roof with their performance in the league. Sometimes, I struggle to understand their formation, especially away from home.
I hope the better players at his disposal this time around will make the difference, else, I have my reservations.

Better than a foreign coach that will receive his salary in dollars

State his CV

Emu4life:
As a Coach, what is his Pedigree?? NFF no rate us at all. Toying with emotions of 200M+ Nigerians.

If we fail to qualify for 2026 World Cup this time, their Glass House will shatter Aje.

Let him do and fail after all foreign coaches have done it and also failed

typicalgamer:


State his CV

Am I your teacher...

Or don't you have Google?

ur problem is the skin colour and make our brother dey there una self

I know, his ban expires in a few months time, finidi should have been appointed an interim coach and wait for siasia ban to be over, if we are honest siasia has proven himself very well.

CrossRhodes:

So they should have held peseiro down against his will?

ues

Some might argue the teams he worked with...

Weren't "grade A" teams!

neither were his opponents.

Siasia is our best choice but can we wait till August? Those two qualifier games are so important.....
On the second thought.. I think this is what the nff is trying to do.... Put finidi for the interim... Prays the Bleep up then appoint siasia by October...

Well they won't improve or win anything any time soon

Nonsense... Emotional appointment. They know this will not be supported by Nigerians and if Finidi fails, they'll put the blame on not having enough funds to get a good coach so the government can give them money. If I were the Federal Government, I'll hands off Nigerian football completely. If you like, appoint whoever you like, you'll foot the bills and lose support of all Nigerians

hmmm, I hope the NFF gets to take the decision on time in case he fails, siasia is our best local coach Olympics silver and bronze medalist is not a joke, u-20 finalist too, He plays attacking football too.
