Former Nigeria international Finidi George has said that he will continue to put himself forward for national coaching roles despite being overlooked twice.
The 49-year-old retired from playing in 2004 after a 15-year career, which included winning the 1994 Africa Cup of Nations as well as three league titles and the 1995 European Champions League with Dutch giants Ajax.
After concluding his internship at Dutch minnows PEC Zwolle as part of his coaching course, George has been seeking an opportunity to manage at youth level in the West African nation after twice failing to get the nod for the Under-17 job.
“I’m very disappointed but I understand the Nigerian system quite well,” George told BBC Sport Africa.
