Top officials have told BALLGISTNigeria 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 BALLGISTNigeria.
“He assisted Peseiro and it is only reasonable that he continues where the Portuguese coach stopped at least for the time being.”
The ex-Ajax winger steered Enyimba to NPFL glory and helmed the Aba club during their debut in the Africa Super League last season.
Yet, the looming question remains: Will he remain with the national team under the new coach succeeding Peseiro?
