76 Former international Mutiu Adepoju believes Finidi George is the right man to lead the Super Eagles.
Finidi was in charge of the Super Eagles for the recent friendlies against Ghana and Mali.
The former winger is among the coaches, who has applied for the Super Eagles coaching job.
Adepoju claimed his former teammate has what it takes to lead the Super Eagles.
“With only two games under his (Finidi’s) belt, his record of one win and one loss is not bad at all,” Mutiu told Flashscore.

“He has a lot of room for improvement. I firmly believe that these Super Eagles will prosper under his leadership if he gets the job.
“It would be a serious mistake to judge Finidi solely on our defeat against Mali. When José Peseiro was the coach of the Super Eagles, did he win every game? Finidi deserves our trust so that he can cultivate the confidence necessary to build on our current base.
“I expect improvements in all aspects of the game. This is a friendly match and the first two matches under Finidi’s direction. I think he has identified the areas that need correction.
“We were victorious against Ghana, but unfortunately we suffered a defeat against Mali. This means that we have achieved a victory in two games, which, in my opinion, is not a bad result for the Super Eagles in general.
The Nigeria Football Federation is expected to name a substantive head coach for the Super Eagles next month.
