The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has officially announced that Finidi George will take the reins as the head coach of the national team, the Super Eagles, for their upcoming friendly matches against Ghana and Mali during this international break.
This appointment comes after the Super Eagles have been without a coach following the conclusion of Jose Peseiro's contract on February 29.
Following a period of accepting applications for the vacant coaching position, the NFF has entrusted Finidi George with leading the team in the interim.
A post on the Super Eagles' verified social media handle showcased Finidi in a meeting with team officials, accompanied by a caption stating, "Coach George Finidi has held a meeting with Super Eagles team officials as he leads the Super Eagles in international friendlies against Ghana and Mali #SoarSuperEagles."
Nigeria will take on Ghana's Black Stars who are already practicing in Morocco for the game on Friday, March 22.
