Former Super Eagles defender, Juwon Oshaniwa believes Finidi George has what it takes to lead the team.
Finidi was named interim head coach of the three-time African champions last week.
The former winger led the Super Eagles in last Friday’s 2-1 win against the Black Stars of Ghana.
The 53-year-old will take charge of the Super Eagles for the second time when they file out against Mali in another friendly later tonight.
Oshaniwa insisted Finidi is the right man for the job.
“The fact still remains, he’s a good man,” Oshaniwa said, as per Sports 247.
“He’s been in the course of the job so far, doing well in it as well. I know it’s a different ball game entirely, club side and national team.
“But notwithstanding with the kind of experience that he’s got playing in the national team as well, playing that level of football across the globe, I think he is ripe and okay for the job.”
