DON’T JUDGE FINIDI WITH GHANA, MALI FRIENDLIES – ADEPOJU
Former international, Mutiu Adepoju has reiterated his support for Finidi George to be named substantive head coach of the Super Eagles.
Finidi took charge of the Super Eagles in their recent friendlies against Ghana and Mali.
The former African champions defeated Ghana 2-1 but fell to a disappointing 2-0 defeat against Mali.
With opinion still divided on who should succeed the erstwhile handler of the team, Jose Peseiro, Adepoju has once again thrown his weight behind Finidi to get the Super Eagles job permanently.
“With only two games under his (Finidi’s) belt, his record of one win and one loss is not bad at all,” Mutiu told Flashscore.
“He has a lot of room for improvement. I firmly believe that these Super Eagles will prosper under his leadership if he gets the job.
“It would be a serious mistake to judge Finidi solely on our defeat against Mali. When José Peseiro was the coach of the Super Eagles, did he win every game? Finidi deserves our trust so that he can cultivate the confidence necessary to build on our current base.”
The Nigeria Football Federation is expected to name a substantive head coach for the Super Eagles next month.
