Finidi George has resigned as coach of the Super Eagles.

The resignation follows the Nigeria Football Federation’s (NFF) decision to appoint a foreign coach to oversee him after the national team failed to win 2026 World Cup qualifiers against South Africa and Benin.

As a result, George’s one-year contract will be downgraded, and his reported monthly salary of 15 million Naira will be reduced to 5 million Naira.

His handpicked assistants will also be replaced by the new foreign coach’s staff.

Confirming Finidi’s resignation on X (formerly Twitter), ex-Super Eagles media officer, Toyin Ibitoye wrote, “News just in. Finidi George #FinidiGeorge_FG has resigned from his #NGSuperEagles manager position.”
