49 Kelechi Iheanacho has backed Finidi George to succeed Jose Peseiro as Super Eagles’ substantive head coach.
Finidi has been placed in temporary charge of the Super Eagles for the friendlies against the Black Stars of Ghana and Eagles of Mali.
The 53-year-old masterminded Nigeria’s first win over Ghana in 18 years at the Grand Stade de Marrakech on Friday.
Following the 2-1 victory against their perennial rivals, Iheanacho believes Finidi is the right man to tinker the Super Eagles.
“The coach (Finidi) has done a great job, it’s short time for him to work with us. It’s just only him at the moment.
Hopefully he will get more chance with the team,” Iheanacho said after the game against Ghana.
The gaffer will hope to lead the Super Eagles to another victory against Mali next week Tuesday.
Finidi, who is currently in charge of Nigeria Premier Football League champions Enyimba, is among the coaches, who have applied to lead the Super Eagles.
