IT’S LOOKING GOOD FOR FINIDI TO BE MADE EAGLES HEAD COACH – IKPEBA
Former Nigeruan international, Victor Ikpeba believes Super Eagles interim coach, Finidi George is on the right track in becoming the team’s substantive coach.
Recall that the 1994 Africa Cup of Nations winner was handed the job on an interim basis following the departure of Jose Peseiro after leading Nigeria to the final of the AFCON 2023 final, where the team lost 2-1 to Ivory Coast.
However, Ikpeba, who was a guest on Monday Night Football on Supersports, stated that last week’s 2-1 win over the Black Stars of Ghana may have put him on the right track to becoming the coach on permanent basis.
“I am happy with what Finidi is doing with the Super Eagles. I am in the system and I know what he’s doing. Don’t forget that I am in the committee set up to do the right thing.
“We are doing the right thing that’s why we made Findi the interim manager instead of calling for other managers or names to be employed. Instead we said the assistant should take over from Peseiro.

“From what I have seen from the players comments, its looking good for Finidi George. As I speak right now, I think it’s looking good for him. Mind you. I am not the decision maker, I am one of the people that will advise the NFF. but it’s looking good for Finidi.”
Nigeria will today confront Les Aigles of Mali in Marrakech in another international friendly.
