Former Nigerian international Edema Fuludu has explained why he wants former Ajax FC and Real Betis winger George Finidi to be employed as the new Super Eagles coach.
Fuludu, who drummed up support for Finidi in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), argued that the ex-Super Eagles winger is calm, serene, and has the coaching qualifications to deal perfectly with the team.
He also stated that he is sure Finidi is someone who cannot be easily influenced and is capable of dealing with the players who were substitutes for former foreign coach José Peseiro
“Finidi is calm, serene, and has the coaching qualifications to deal perfectly with the team,” Fuludu said.
“As far as I’m concerned, he’s not someone who can be easily influenced.
“He is capable of dealing with the players who were substitutes for former foreign coach José Peseiro.”
Fuludu added, “I have said that hiring an indigenous coach for the Super Eagles will get the best out of our national players because he will understand the team better than foreigners.
This comes days after Finidi led Nigeria to its first win against eternal rivals Ghana 2-1 since 2006 in a friendly match played in Marrakech, Morocco, thus breaking an 18-year jinx against their opponents.
