The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has come under fire from a former Super Eagles goalkeeper for how they handled Finidi George’s situation.
Finidi recently resigned from his position as the Super Eagles head coach after some controversial takes about his position.
The former head coach failed to pick up maximum points during the Super Eagles game against South Africa and Benin Republic.
Peter Ijeh made his remarks following the NFF's decision to appoint a technical adviser and demote Finidi to assistant coach after just six weeks on the job.

Peter on Finidi’s situation
The Swedish Allsvenskan's all-time leading scorer for Nigeria, Peter Ijeh, expressed his dissatisfaction with the NFF's decision.
Speaking to Brila FM, Ijeh said, “From the beginning, I believe the NFF vetted who they wanted. Two foreign coaches before Finidi lost their first five matches. They should have handled the situation better.

“Writing a contract is one thing; the clauses of the contract are another. Who knows what he signed or what the agreement was? Everything that happened, they can’t try it with a white man.
“I still believe building a Nigerian for that task is possible because we have qualified coaches, even in the diaspora, with modern certifications who can execute the job. It depends on the Glass House supporting the coach.
)
“It’s just to advise the NFF that, look, what is the guarantee that bringing in a technical adviser would win the remaining six games? What if he doesn’t win? What next? Where are we going?”
The NFF are yet to name a new head coach for the national team, days after Finidi's resignation.
