The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has finally accepted the resignation letter of former Super Eagles coach Finidi George.
The football body had earlier reportedly rejected his resignation letter as the senior national team coach because it was not signed.

Vanguard reported that the resignation letter has now been signed and made available to all members of the NFF executive committee.
It was learnt that an official statement on the development was expected to be released after the Sallah holiday, which ended on Tuesday, June 18.
Finidi George quit his job as the Super Eagles coach after the NFF announced plan to hire a foreign technical adviser for the team.
In his resignation letter addressed to the president of the NFF, Ibrahim Gusau, George said he decided to step aside from his position as the Super Eagles coach due to the changes in the technical crew he headed.

He alleged that the NFF president handpicked several members of the technical crew.
The football governing board announced plan to hire a new foreign technical adviser for the team before the commencement of the 2025 AFCON qualifiers in the first week of September.
Finidi George has only played two matches as the national team coach but has not secured a win in any of them.
The former Nigerian international drew South Africa at home and lost to Benin Republic in his first away match as the coach.
