Do you want to see another manager take charge of the Super Eagles after what Finidi George's team displayed against Benin Republic?
Fans of the Super Eagles of Nigeria have reacted after the Finidi George-led team could not defeat their counterpart from Benin Republic.
The Super Eagles took an early lead courtesy of a glorious strike from Club Brugge's Raphael Onyedika, but Benin Republic fought back and won 2-1.
A rare moment of defensive lapse from Calvin Bassey allowed Jodel Dossou to pounce. The Sochaux winger took full advantage of the mistake and slotted past the onrushing Stanley Nwabali.
That was not all. A few minutes before the break, Raphael Onyedika and Wilfred Ndidi were guilty of ball-watching and failing to clear the lines from a corner.
The ball fell kindly for Steve Mounie, who made no mistakes from close range.

Finidi George and Nigeria's Super Eagles remain without a win in the FIFA WCQ after suffering a massive defeat to Benin.
Coach Finidi George brought on Victor Boniface, Paul Onuachu and a host of other players, but Benin Republic's defense remained resolute and refused to cave in.
The former Ajax winger now continues in the footsteps of his predecessor who played two World Cup qualifiers and drew both, now Finidi George has lost one, drawn one.
Nigeria remain without a win in the World Cup qualifiers, recording just three points from a possible 12, after four games.

Finidi George is the worst ever coach in Nigeria National Football Team's history. NFF decision to appoint him instead of Daniel Amunike will continue to haunt them in few years coming. Everything in this country can't just do without corruption as it's deem necessary and normal stuff in every ministry of the country 😭😭😭😭😭 Finidi George is too clueless, very poor in everything. I told you guys earlier on that this guy won't take us anywhere wallahi, even before his first match against Ghana. The team has no cohesion nothing nothing. How can a reasonable coach select Paul Onuachu over Victor Boniface to lead the attack saboda da Allah fa? No effective game plans, poor substitution and everything is just poor 💯%😭😭😭😭😭

Even if Nigeria hire Guardiola or Mourinho, na same thing. The whole Nigerian system need cleansing and reform in politics security,, economy, sports etc. In short, it needs total shut down.......

Finidi not qualified for a team like Eagles. NFF should have known better.
