The former Super Eagles head coach, Finidi George, has explained his decision to resign from his position.
Yesterday, Finidi officially turned in his official resignation as the Super Eagles head coach, barely a month to his appointment.
His resignation came a few days after a three-hour meeting with the NFF and the minister of sports, and they decided to hire a foreign technical adviser to assist Finidi.
Finidi has now explained the whole situation and given a reason for his shocking resignation from the Super Eagles.

Finidi opens up on resignation
Finidi George’s shocking resignation has caused a lot of distress on social media and within the Super Eagles camp.
However, he gave a reason for his decision to resign as the Super Eagles head coach through a former Super Eagles media officer.
A few hours later, after Finidi’s resignation, former Eagles media officer Colin Udoh revealed in a social media video that he had spoken with Finidi following his decision.
In a video shared by Collin Udoh on X, “Finidi confirmed to me that he resigned his position indeed. The reason being that he met with the NFF on Thursday, and they had a very good conversation.
“They spoke about the things they needed to do going forward, and he (Finidi) asked if he would be back. At no point during that meeting did anyone tell him they were going to appoint a foreign technical adviser?
“The NFF board had met on Wednesday and made that decision. But it was when Findi landed in Port Harcourt after that meeting that someone called him and informed him. He (Finidi) had to park his car and read the link to see that it actually was true.
“So he waited for two days to see if anyone would contact him but nobody spoke to him. So he (Finidi) felt they didn’t want him anymore and so he decided to turn in his resignation.”
As it stands, the Super Eagles are without a head coach, but the NFF are currently in search of a foreign technical adviser to help the Super Eagles in their remaining World Cup qualifying games.
