Former Enyimba player Victor Ezeji has criticized the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) for its decision to appoint a technical advisor, leading to the departure of coach Finidi George.
Finidi George resigned after the NFF announced its intention to hire a technical advisor without informing the Super Eagles coach, despite it arising from a meeting with the NFF just days before the decision.
In an interview with Brila FM, NPFL legend, Ezeji, expressed concern over the impact of this decision on the future of Nigerian football.
“The problem we always have as black people, or in most black countries, is that we like to kill our own,” Ezeji said.
“Peseiro in his first five games lost the first 3 and we gave him one more year to manage our team, Finidi in his first 4 games lost 2 games and we want to replace him, what does that tell you?”

Ezeji argued that Finidi should have been allowed to complete the qualification process, emphasizing accountability.
“For me, I think they should have allowed Finidi to see the rankings, if he doesn’t qualify we will know who to hold responsible.
“Now we go from Peseiro 2 games to Finidi 2 games, the one you bring in and he doesn’t qualify, how do you hold him responsible? “You can’t keep anyone because they didn’t start the competition with you.”
Ezeji reiterated his belief that the NFF’s decision to let Finidi go was a mistake.

“I think it was a very wrong decision on the part of the NFF to allow Finidi to leave. They would have just allowed him to watch the race, then we will know that whatever comes out of it is on the coach.”
