Finidi George on the right track to become Super Eagles coach – Victor Ikpeba

By Saheed Afolabi

Former Nigeria international, Victor Ikpeba has expressed optimism that Finidi George is on the right track to become the substantive head coach of the national team.

The football pundit said he’s glad with what Finidi is doing with the Super Eagles as he believes the right thing is taking its due course which led to the faith placed on the Enyimba coach to act on interim capacity.

“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,” Ikpeba was quoted by Super Sports.

“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 making , I am one of the people that will advise the NFF. but it’s looking good for Finidi.”

Finidi will spearhead the technical crew when the Super Eagles take on Mali in an international friendly game in Marrakech, Morocco on Tuesday.
