After an initial delay, the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) has formally accepted the resignation of Finidi George as the head coach of the Super Eagles.
The resignation, which was submitted earlier, faced procedural setbacks due to an unsigned letter. However, these issues have now been resolved.
The NFF initially refused to accept the resignation because the letter lacked the necessary signatures, creating a procedural hurdle. This led to a brief period of uncertainty regarding the official status of George’s departure.
After addressing the procedural irregularities, the letter was properly signed and distributed to all members of the NFF executive committee.
Finidi George, a former Nigerian international and a key player in the country’s football history, took over as coach of the Super Eagles with high expectations.
His resignation marks the end of a significant chapter for the team, which will now look towards finding a new coach to lead them forward.
The NFF expressed gratitude for George’s contributions and wished him success in his future endeavors. The federation is expected to announce a search for a new head coach soon, aiming to maintain the team’s momentum and build on the foundations laid during George’s tenure.
