Abuja: New Nigeria coach Finidi George has demanded total commitment from his top players, as the team aims to get their 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign back on track after a faltering start.
Finidi was presented to the media as the country's new coach to succeed the Portuguese Jose Peseiro, whose contract was not renewed after guiding Nigeria to the final of the Africa Cup of Nations in February, in Abuja on Monday.
His immediate tasks are two 2026 World Cup qualifiers against South Africa and Benin early next month.
Nigeria are third in their qualifying group with two points from as many games, while South Africa are second on three points.
The three-time African champions welcome South Africa to the southern town of Uyo on June 7, before they travel to Abidjan for another qualifying match against bottom-team Benin three days later.
