Finidi replaces Portuguese coach, José Peseiro who left the position upon the expiration of his contract in March. Oparaku told the New Telegraph that Amuneke would have been a good choice. He, however, backed Geroge to succeed as the coach of the 2013 AFCON winner. 'I have to admit, I never expected the NFF to overlook Amuneke when considering local coaches.
'Personally, I think he would have been an excellent choice, and if I were in charge, I would have gone with him. 'I truly believe that Amuneke and Finidi would have made a great team, and I would have been overjoyed if they had been selected. 'In fact, I think it would have been the best thing to happen to Nigerian football in the past decade or so. 'Nevertheless, we will continue to support Finidi and the Nigerian team.
