Fans Turn of Super Eagles Boss
The decision to sack Finidi George and bring in a new foreign manager has not gone down well with Nigerian fans, who have taken to social media to demand the arrest of the former international.

"They should arrest him for criminal charges," said one Twitter user, while another added, "He should be fired, and chased away."
Other fans went even further, with one suggesting that "they should arrest him and whoever recommended him for the Eagles," and another stating, "They shouldn't just remove him, they should as well arrest that man."

The NFF's decision to part ways with Finidi comes as a blow to the former Nigeria international, who was appointed as the Super Eagles head coach in May 2024.
