The reasons behind Finidi George’s decision to resign as the Super Eagles head coach are detailed.
On Saturday, the 53-year-old submitted his resignation to the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).
This occurred a few days after the NFF announced in a statement that they intended to hire a foreign technical adviser to assist Finidi.
Hours later, Colin Udoh, a former Eagles media officer, acknowledged on social media that he had communicated with Finidi following his decision.
“Finidi confirmed to me that he resigned his position indeed,” Udoh said.
“The reason being that he met with the NFF on Thursday and they had a very good conversation.
“They spoke about the things they need to do going forward and he (Finidi) asked if he will 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.”

Finidi’s decision to resign from Super Eagles job is good for his sanity and professional intergrity.
How I wish other indegeneous coaches learn a good lesson from this.
I wonder why Nigeria Football Coaches Association have not made official pronouncements on Finidi’s current travails ?
Don’t you think Osimhen versus Finidi’s current social media bout will be a good script for Nollywood directors ? I come in peace
