Finidi George desiring to coach Nigeria
Former Super Eagles and Ajax winger, Finidi George, has revealed he is waiting for an opportunity to coach the Nigeria national team.
The 49-year-old had an illustrious career playing for the Sons of Gods, where he won eight trophies including the 1995 Champions League before moving to Spain to play for Real Betis and RCD Mallorca.
He also had a short stint in England with Ipswich Town.
George, who had 62 caps for the Super Eagles, is hoping for a chance to impact his knowledge to the younger generation.
“We are ex-players, we are coaches, we had played this game and we know how to interact with players,” he told Brilla FM.
“We also know how to manage them which is important as well, so if the opportunity arises, I would take it with open hands.
“I have been handling the youth players and it’s always good to do what you know how to do best, actually I have been an assistant coach in Mallorca.”
George was part of the Super Eagles team that won Nigeria their second Africa Cup of Nations title in 1994.
