49 Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara believes Finidi George’s wealth of experience will come handy for the Super Eagles.
He made this known in a congratulatory message, where he described the former Ajax star’s appointment as Super Eagles coach as a testament to Finidi’s “hard work, commitment, perseverance and patriotism over the years”.

He expressed confidence that the 52-year-old George, who won 62 caps for Nigeria, and coached many teams to victory, including his record during the 20-month stint as assistant to Jose Peseiro before the Portuguese voluntarily resigned his post after guiding Super Eagles to silver medal at the 2023 AFCON in Cote d’Ivoire, would bring his wealth of experience to bear in leading the senior national team to laurels in the coming months and years.
According to him, “George’s years of experience as a national and international footballer, particularly his mesmerising displays in Calabar Rovers, Sharks FC in Nigeria; and Ajax Amsterdam and Real Betis, among others in Europe, and as a coach will come handy in his new job,” and urged him to be a good ambassador of the State.
The governor, on behalf of his family , the state government and Rivers people, wished George a successful coaching career, and prayed God to grant him the wisdom and strength to discharge his duties effectively.
