“I am not Superman”
Super Eagles head coach Finidi George has made it clear that there is no truth in the reports that suggest he would be combining the national team job with his role as Enyimba FC manager, Soccernet.ng reports.
Finidi led Enyimba FC to win the Nigeria Professional Football League title last year and had powered them to the third position on the log this term with only six games left to play.
Finidi combined his job at the Aba Elephants with his role as the assistant coach to Jose Peseiro during the Portuguese tactician’s 20-month stint in charge of the Super Eagles.
However, after Finidi was appointed to succeed Peseiro, some reports indicated he would still retain his position with Enyimba FC.
But the former Ajax Amaterdam winger has cleared the air, insisting that he has vacated his office in Aba as he is fully committed to the Super Eagles.
Finidi maintains that the national team job is a bigger job than any club position in the NPFL, especially with Nigeria looking to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Nigeria will trade tackles with South Africa and the Benin Republic next month as part of the World Cup qualifying campaign.
