Nigeria appoint George to succeed Peseiro

Jose Peseiro will be replaced as Nigeria's head coach by former international Finidi George.

After the Portuguese left the Super Eagles following Nigeria's loss to Ivory Coast in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations final in February, the 53-year-old was given temporary leadership of the team.

George, who is also the club team's coach, supervised two friendlies last month. His team defeated Ghana 2-1 before falling to Mali 2-0.
