Finidi George has quit his position as Super Eagles head coach.
According to various sources on Saturday, Finidi has already submitted his resignation letter to the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).
The former Ajax winger took the decision following NFF’s decision to appoint a foreign technical adviser for the Super Eagles.
The 53-year-old was appointed Jose Peseiro’s successor in May.
He was an assistant to Peseiro for 20 months.
Finidi’s demotion meant his year’s contract will be downgraded and his reported monthly salary of 15 Million Naira will be reviewed downwards to five Million Naira.
Finidi was in charge as Nigeria were defeated 2-1 by Benin Republic.
He also led the Super Eagles as they played 1-1 against South Africa in their recent 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
