Former Nigerian football star Finidi George has been appointed as the new head coach of the Super Eagles, Nigeria’s national football team.

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) made the announcement on Monday through an official statement on its website, following the approval of its Technical and Development Committee.

The statement highlighted, “The Board of Nigeria Football Federation on Monday approved the recommendation of its Technical and Development Committee to appoint former ace winger Finidi George as Head Coach of the Senior Men National Football Team, Super Eagles.”

George, who previously served as an assistant to former coach Jose Peseiro for 20 months, took on the role of interim head coach in March. During his interim tenure, he led the Super Eagles in two friendly matches against Ghana and Mali, both held in Morocco.

In a historic victory against Ghana, George’s squad secured a 2-1 win, breaking an 18-year winless streak against the formidable opponent. However, in the subsequent match against Mali, the team faced a setback, losing 0-2.

George is no stranger to success, having been a key player in Nigeria’s renowned ‘Golden Generation.’ He notably clinched the Africa Cup of Nations title in 1994 and represented Nigeria in the FIFA World Cup finals in the same year, where the team emerged as the second most entertaining side in their debut appearance.

With 62 caps for Nigeria, George’s illustrious career spans multiple tournaments, including the FIFA World Cup and AFCON, where he amassed gold, silver, and bronze medals across various editions from 1992 to 2002.
