Super Eagles head coach, Finidi George, has resigned after a poor run of games in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
The former Nigerian international confirmed his resignation to Channels Television 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.
Following the poor performance of the Nigerian team in the two games under George, there were several calls from the fans for his sack
