Head Coach of Super Eagles Steps Down Amidst Controversy
In a stunning turn of events, Finidi George has resigned as the head coach of the Nigerian men's national team, the Super Eagles. This development comes on the heels of the Nigeria Football Federation's (NFF) decision to appoint a foreign technical expatriate to take over the team.
Criticism and Controversy
Finidi George had faced intense criticism for his game management during the recent World Cup qualifiers, particularly in the draw against South Africa and the defeat to Benin Republic.
Salary Reduction: The Tipping Point
According to sports journalist Pooja, Finidi George's resignation was prompted by a significant reduction in his salary, from N15m to N5m. Pooja revealed this information on her Twitter timeline, stating that the pay cut was a major factor in Finidi George's decision to step down as coach.
Resolution and Next Steps
The NFF has yet to officially confirm the reasons behind Finidi George's resignation. However, the search for a new head coach is expected to begin shortly, with the foreign technical expatriate appointed by the NFF likely to take the reins.
