Super Eagles' job: NFF takes final action on Finidi George's resignation

Finidi officially resigned as the Super Eagles head coach, barely a month to his appointment on Saturday, June 15.

The need became necessary following the Super Eagles' sluggish start to the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.

The Super Eagles occupy the fifth position with three points from a possible 12 after four rounds of matches in Group C.

As reported by Belgian newspaper, Het Nieuwsblad, Brys has not denied the rumours linking him with the vacant Super Eagles’ job.

The 62-year-old Belgian has, however, said he feels good with Cameroon despite the ongoing feud with the Fecafoot president, Samuel Eto’o.

Brys was dismissed in May 2024, only to be reinstated a few days before the World Cup qualifiers against Angola and Cape Verde in June.

The experienced coach had previously managed Germinal Beerschot, Mouscron, FC Eindhoven, Den Bosch, KV Mechelen, Al-Faisaly FC, Al-Raed, Sint-Truiden and OH Leuven.
