Finidi: Ex- Eagles Anichebe wants FG to sack NFF
Former Super Eagles striker Victor Anichebe has waded into the never-ending drama that has overtaken Nigerian football by demanding the disbandment of the ‘clueless’ and ‘leaderless’ Nigeria Football Federation( NFF).
Finidi George has quit as Super Eagles coach, Napoli striker Victor Osimhen has openly disrespected the former national team coach as Nigeria’s chances of qualifying for the 2026 World Cup are in shambles.
The NFF have also made an about-turn to appoint a foreign coach just weeks after they announced that they went with the yearnings of Nigerians for a local coach to head the Super Eagles.
Former Everton striker Anichebe, who won 11 caps with the Super Eagles and featured at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, laid the blame squarely with the NFF.
