“News just in. Finidi George #FinidiGeorge_FG has resigned from his #NGSuperEagles manager position”, he said. Finidi George has also not refuted this rumour of his resignation.

He said “I should stay with my family, now after two bad games, he is blaming me. I know how many injuries I have suffered playing for Nigeria and I played my heart out, but after two bad games everybody is attacking me”, Victor Osimhen said, adding that he has lost respect for the Finidi George and that people should stop spoiling his name.
