āHe is capable of handling the players having understudied the former foreign coach Jose Peseiro,ā he said.

He added that such victory would also improve the eagleās teamās spirit and raise the worldās ranking.

Super Eagles interim head coach George Finidi has praised his players following the teamās victory against Black Stars at the Grand Stade de Marrakech on Friday night.
It was Nigeriaās first win over Ghana in 18 years.
