The newly appointed Technical Adviser of the Super Eagles of Nigeria, Finidi George, penned an emotional goodbye message to his immediate employer, Enyimba, a nine-time winner of the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL), expressing his gratitude for the opportunity given to him by the club.
The 53-year-old tactician, Finidi George, was full of praise for Enyimba International FC management for providing him with the platform to showcase his God-given talent.
“After three good years, I will be leaving Enyimba. I was asking for something less, but God has given me something bigger.
"I didn’t know when I was applying for the U-17 job, which I applied for twice. I kept my cool and decided to join the Aba giants, but as God would have it, I have been given the Super Eagles job,” Finidi stated in his address.
“My first season at Enyimba was difficult because of some challenges, but my second was better, and hopefully, this season will be better than the last.
“It’s quite unfortunate that I won’t finish this season with Enyimba. I would have loved to, but that isn’t possible at this point in time.
“I want to thank you all because, for me, Enyimba is like a family. I’m leaving, but I won’t forget you all. Definitely, I will soon come to Aba to watch Enyimba play because my duty now is to build a team with foreign and home-based players.
“It’s quite emotional for me because I knew when I came here I came with my son, but he left after one year because it wasn’t easy for him. However, I knew what I was looking for, and I wanted to prove myself here.
“I’m happy and, at the same time, sad that I am leaving Enyimba. I want to thank you all for the support.
“It hasn’t been easy, but Enyimba has really prepared me for bigger challenges. Aba isn’t an easy place to coach,” he stated.
