The Head Coach of Super Eagles, Finidi George has resigned in less than two months of his appointment.
This was after a poor run of games in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
The former Nigerian international confirmed his resignation on Saturday.
“Yes, it is true. I have resigned,” he wrote in response to enquiries.
However, the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) is yet to react to this development.
George led the Eagles to a 1-1 draw against South Africa at home in Uyo and a 2-1 loss to Benin Republic in Abidjan, putting Nigeria’s qualification to the World Cup in serious doubt.
The two results extended Nigeria’s winless run in the qualifiers having previously played two draws under former coach Jose Peseiro.
Nigeria is now 5th above only Zimbabwe in the Group C qualification lot for the 2026 World Cup.
