Udoh Reveals Reasons Behind Finidi’s Resignation as Super Eagles Coach Former Super Eagles coach Paul Udoh has shed light on the reasons why Emmanuel Finidi resigned from his position just three months after being appointed. In an interview with Complete Sports, Udoh stated that Finidi’s resignation was primarily due to a disagreement with the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) over the composition of his backroom staff. “Finidi wanted to bring in his own people, but the NFF wanted to impose people on him,” Udoh said. “He felt that he couldn’t work under those conditions and decided to quit.” Udoh also revealed that Finidi had concerns about the NFF’s support and the lack of transparency in the organization. “He didn’t feel that the NFF was giving him the support he needed to succeed,” Udoh explained. “He was also concerned about the lack of transparency in the NFF and the way things were being run.” Finidi’s resignation has come as a blow to the Super Eagles, who are preparing for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. Udoh, however, expressed confidence that Nigeria will overcome this setback. “Nigeria has a lot of talented players,” Udoh said. “We just need to find the right coach who can get the best out of them. I’m confident that we can still qualify for the Africa Cup of Nations and do well in the tournament.” The NFF has yet to comment on Finidi’s resignation or the reasons behind it. The federation is expected to announce a new coach for the Super Eagles in the coming weeks.Finidi George Resigns as Super Eagles Head CoachFinidi George Resigns as Super Eagles Head Coach Former Super Eagles Media Officer Colin Udoh has revealed the reasons behind Finidi George’s resignation as the team’s head coach. George, who was appointed in May, stepped down just a month later after the NFF announced plans to appoint a foreign technical advisor. According to Udoh, George was not informed of the NFF’s decision during a meeting on June 13. He only learned about it upon landing in Port Harcourt after the meeting. “Finidi waited two days to see if anyone from the NFF would contact him,” Udoh said. “But no one did, so he felt that the NFF no longer wanted him and decided to tender his resignation.” The NFF’s decision to hire a foreign technical advisor came after the Super Eagles failed to achieve victories in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against South Africa and Benin Republic. George’s brief tenure as head coach included a 2-1 defeat to Benin Republic and a 1-1 draw against South Africa.Udoh Reveals Finidi George’s Resignation Reasons Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) General Secretary, Mohammed Sanusi, has shed light on the reasons behind Finidi George’s resignation from his role as Super Eagles assistant coach. According to Sanusi, Finidi cited “personal reasons” as his motivation for stepping down. The former Nigerian international had previously hinted at his intention to focus on his coaching career at club level. “We received Finidi George’s resignation letter and we respect his decision,” Sanusi said. “He has cited personal reasons for his resignation, and we wish him well in his future endeavors.” Finidi’s departure leaves a void in the Super Eagles coaching staff, who are preparing for the upcoming friendlies against Portugal and Algeria. Jose Peseiro, the team’s interim head coach, is tasked with finding a suitable replacement. “We are already working on a replacement for Finidi George,” Sanusi added. “We will announce the new assistant coach in due time. We believe that the team will be able to cope with this transition and continue to prepare for the upcoming matches.” Finidi George, a former Barcelona and Real Betis winger, joined the Super Eagles coaching staff in July 2022. He had previously worked as an assistant coach for clubs such as Real Mallorca and Austin FC.
