The President of the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, Ibrahim Gusau, has stated that the footballing house is unaware of Super Eagles coach, Finidi George, resignation.
This comes amid reports online that the coach resigned after the NFF announced Thursday that it would hire an “expatriate technical adviser” for the Eagles.
Recall that Super Eagles have been having poor performances in the 2026 World Cup qualifying series.
Playing in Group C, the Eagles have managed just three points from a possible 12. They sit bottom in the six-team Group C, which put their qualification hopes in jeopardy.
However, disturbed by the poor running, the Nigerian Football Federal on Thursday announced its plans to hire a foreign technical adviser. The move is to aid George to qualify the Eagles for the World Cup.
Recall that the Eagles through their lackluster performance missed out in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
Following the development, reports maintained that the Eagles Coach, Finidi was livid with the NFF decision. This is coming just a day after George met with the NFF leadership and the Sports Minister.
According to reports, George had complained that players reported late to camp and the NFF did nothing to mobilize Nigerians in Ivory Coast to support the Eagles.
Recall that the match which was played in Ivory Coast did not have the presence of Nigerian supporters.
A factor, which George said contributed to the Super Eagles performance in the last Monday’s match with Benin Republic.
The reports added that Finidi, who’s overseen just two Eagles games since he took charge in April, resigned from his post Tuesday (today) morning.
But responding to the development, NFF President told journalists that he was not aware of George’s resignation.
