“We settled for him” – Former Super Eagles striker reveals why the NFF appointed Finidi George

Former Nigeria and Borussia Dortmund forward, Victor Nosa Ikpeba has revealed that the Nigerian Football Federation had to settle for Finidi George in their search for a Super Eagles coach, Soccernet.ng reports.
Finidi George won the NPFL title with Enyimba last year, in what was his debut season as a coach, whilst working simultaneously with the national team as Jose Peseiro’s assistant.

Since the departure of the Portuguese tactician, the former Ajax winger was appointed as an interim coach to help oversee the Super Eagles during the March International break. Finidi coached Nigeria to a win against Ghana but lost the plot against Mali in Morocco.
Yesterday, the NFF announced that Finidi will continue to lead the team, this time, permanently. His primary aim is to lead the Super Eagles to the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Speaking on the Monday Night Football show on Super Sports, Ikpeba, who was among the technical committee that recommended Finidi, stated that the NFF settled for him because of financial constraints.
“Firstly, I want to congratulate Finidi George on his appointment as the Super Eagles coach. However, it was a difficult task because we initially wanted a foreign manager. However, we settled for Finidi because of the finances. It’s not like we don’t have confidence in our own coaches back home. We thought there should be continuity in the way Peseiro took the team to the final of the 2023 AFCON,” the former Borussia Dortmund man said in quotes revealed by Complete Sports.
Ikpeba reiterated that the Federation could have opted for a foreign coach, instead, they chose to side with the plea of the Nigerian populace who wanted a local coach.
“So, eventually, we were guided by the NFF President to look inward. It’s not that we can’t afford a foreign manager, but Nigerians back home want a Nigerian coach, and that is what we have now,” the former Monaco forward admitted.

This is good actually. When Finidi succeeds they can't take any credit. It's all on Finidi, the players n the fans. Ikpeba can't hide. Finidi will succeed.
Re: VICTOR IKPEBA Issues INSULT: "We Settled for him (Finidi)......"
Finidi can’t do it alone. He needs support. This statement if true is counter productive.
Winners do it the right way.

Poor interview.
1. So what anxieties does Ikpeba have about local coaches that he needs to share, and have the general populace understand?
I2. t is then understood since the NFF can afford a foreign manager, we want to know Finidi's pay package. It appears just like the NIKE contract, this Finidi agreement would be declared null and void if it goes public.

Honestly people like Ikpeba shouldn’t be on committees like these or if they are, they should completely barred from making public comments.
When it comes to what to say publicly vs not, he might as well be 6 years old

I SAW THE SAME SELF CONTRADICTIONS YOU DID
First he said they wanted a foreign coach but did not have the money. Then he said they gad the money.
He said they wanted a foreign coach but then he said he had confidence in a Nigerian.
And then he said they were bowing to the wishes of Nigerians meaning it's not their choice.
The only thing I'm happy about is the revelation that most Nigerians want a Nigeian.

NFF is to blame no matter what happens.
They clearly have the money to have gone for a better coach but settled for chopping money instead.
They are also reinstating the homebased quota, also to "save money" and promote agency business as well.
The homebased camping is basically letting us know there will be a homebased quota like they initially had with Peseiro.

He was making the comments on his show but he shouldn’t have said the things he said. But I suspect they are his personal opinions and not the committee’s going by the contradictory statements about finances. He was pushed by the host to reveal what happened and he felt he had to respond. Not good.

Re: VICTOR IKPEBA Issues INSULT: "We Settled for him (Finidi)......"
My point exactly. He shouldn’t be on that committee. Pushed by a host?? With all that his grey bia bia?? It’s obvious he didn’t really support the move to hire FinidiLolly wrote: ↑Thu May 02, 2024 5:43 amHe was making the comments on his show but he shouldn’t have said the things he said.

Using 'we' takes it out of the realm of personal opinion. If he is working for a Corporate with a brand to protect, he could be fired for that feckless statement. What he has done with that statement is cast doubt over Finidi's competence, that was crass of him. That cannot be called a personal opinion, a personal opinion would be what he thought and felt about Finidi's appointment and would not use the word 'we'.Lolly wrote: ↑Thu May 02, 2024 5:43 amHe was making the comments on his show but he shouldn’t have said the things he said.
