SCORENigeria has scooped that the NFF have now made a sharp u-turn and are now working on appointing a technical adviser to boss coach Finidi George in the Super Eagles.
The proposal is now to be tabled before sports minister John Enoh this week.
Should the NFF get their way on this, the technical adviser will be in place before the September 2-10, when the 2025 AFCON qualifiers are expected to kick-off.
A close observer told SCORENigeria that is a clear admission by the NFF that Finidi does not have the requisite experience to lead the Super Eagles.
Under the former Enyimba coach, the Super Eagles have won one, drawn two and lost one of their matches.
The Super Eagles qualification for the 2026 World Cup is hanging by a thread after they could only manage three points from four matches.
Finidi has a Diploma in coaching with three years experience while Rohr and Broos are professors with more than 20 years experience . What do you expect?
Why are we always in a hurry?
We always want to reap where we did not sow. When was the coach appointed? When did the players arrived in camp? No grooming, nothing. Fire bridged does not yield good results always. If 11 players are picked locally and trained together for a year, they WILL beat ungroomed professionals.
Some of us knew Finidi will fail because he has no experience at all.and he doesn’t know how to talk to the press.
We should stop the sentiments of using local coaches with no experience pls and take our football more serious.
These set of USA 94 Players like Amokachi,
Amunike etc hanging around NFF HQ lobbying for Eagles Coaching Job should go to other African Countries and be their coach just like Keshi did..IF THEY KNOW THEY ARE GOOD.
The same way Eguavoen failed in AFCON and World Cup qualifiers is the same way Finidi failed us after 2 of them took over from our foreign coaches!
Haba!!! Enough is Enough!!!..
USA 94 Eagles leave our coaching Job alone, una sabi play ball not coaching..
The day we let Paseiro go was the day we lost our world cup ticket.We sealed it by not appointing Finidi on time.NFF should also go itlf Finidi goes.

Finidi’s coaching techniques and abilities have been insufficient, and his decisions have ultimately led to our current situation. Objectively speaking, he had all the resources necessary to secure victories in both matches. However, a new technical coach with the requisite expertise should be appointed promptly. This would enable them to assess the team’s strengths and weaknesses, make informed decisions, and develop a strategy that yields positive results in future matches. While our current situation is challenging, we still have a chance to qualify if we win all our remaining games.
