Top officials have told SCORENigeria that Finidi George, who assisted Jose Peseiro at the recent AFCON, is most likely the coach to lead the Super Eagles for friendlies against Ghana and Mali later this month.
The Super Eagles are due to tackle Ghana and Mali during the international break between March 22 and 26 and this could be coming too early for the new coach for the team to take full charge.
“Except there is a change at the last minute, Finidi will take the team for the matches against Ghana and Mali,” one of the officials informed SCORENigeria
“He assisted Peseiro and it is only reasonable that he continues where the Portuguese coach stopped at least for the time being.”
The former Ajax winger led Enyimba to win the NPFL and also was in charge of the Aba club when they featured in the inaugural Africa Super League last year.
However, it is left to be seen whether he will continue with the national team when a new coach is appointed to replace Peseiro.
