<h2><a href="https://www.naijanews.com/2024/03/27/kenneth-omeruo-passes-verdict-on-finidi-george-after-super-eagles-defeat-to-mali/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The interim manager of the Super Eagles</a>, Finidi George, has stressed that he is not under pressure to become the head coach of the team.</h2>
<p>The Nigerian Super Eagles have been without a permanent coach since Jose Peseiro's contract expired on February 29, 2024, over two weeks after the national team finished second in the 2023 AFCON.</p>
<p>Initially, the Nigeria Football Federation made efforts to extend Peseiro's contract but he reportedly refused to accept the pay package of the football body.</p>
<p>Hence, the NFF had to call on interested coaches to apply for the vacant position, and several head coaches, including coach Finidi George, have applied.</p>
<p>Interestingly, George, who served as Jose Peseiro's assistant coach, was appointed as the Super Eagles' interim head coach, pending the appointment of a new permanent coach.</p>
<p>His first assignment was to lead the Super Eagles against Ghana in an international friendly, and <a href="https://www.naijanews.com/2024/03/22/super-eagles-of-nigeria-beat-10-man-ghana-in-morocco/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">his team won 2-1,</a> motivating many football stakeholders that the Enyimba head coach will be given the coaching job.</p>
<p>Unfortunately for the 52-year-old former Nigeria international, the Super Eagles lost 2-0 to lowly-rated Mali in their second friendly game barely four days after their victory over Ghana.</p>
<p>How they lost to Mali made many believe that coach Finidi George has reduced his chances of being named the head coach of the team.</p>
<p><em>“I felt really good when I was told to take charge of the team. I have been with the team for almost two years, I know all the players, their strengths, and their weaknesses but I am only here to serve Nigeria the way I know how to do stuff",</em> he told Modo TV.</p>
<p><em>“I will just take these two games and go back to my club. Whatever the decision is taken after, so be it. I’m not under pressure to say I must get the role permanently.”</em></p>
