Finidi George explains why he resigned as Super Eagles Head Coach

By PAUL ADAJI, Abuja –

The resignation letter he sent to the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), has provided answers to why  Finidi George had to dump the Super Eagles as Head Coach barely three months after he was appointed.

In the letter, address to the NFF President, Alhaji Shehu Guasau on Friday, Finidi complained of the changes made to the technical crew of the Super Eagles as one of the reasons he no longer felt comfortable holding on to the job.

According to the former national team midfielder,  “I am writing you of my decision to step down as the head coach of the Super Eagles, Nigeria’s men’s senior team.

“This decision is in light of the recent decision to effect changes to the team’s technical crew.

“I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the entire leadership of the federation, the sports ministry, and the people of Nigeria for the opportunity to serve as the head coach of the Super Eagles.

“Although, our recent results in the qualifying matches were not as desired, I remained committed to getting our World Cup qualification campaign back on track.

“However, with the recent changes to the technical crew, I believe it is time to vacate my position.

“Please be assured of my continued support for the team, and I wish us all the best for the future.”
