据 Soccernet.ng 报道，前尼日利亚国脚雅库布·艾耶格贝尼支持尼日利亚足协 (NFF) 任命菲尼迪·乔治担任超级鹰队主教练的决定。

Yakubu was one of the most prolific strikers in the green and white colours of the Super Eagles, scoring 21 goals in 58 games in a career that spanned twenty years.

雅库布是超级鹰队中最多产的绿白前锋之一，在长达 20 年的职业生涯中，他在 58 场比赛中攻入 21 球。

这位前埃弗顿前锋支持NFF任命他的前队友担任超级鹰队主教练的决定。

Yakubu, who missed a golden chance to send the Super Eagles to the round-of-sixteen stage of the 2010 FIFA World Cup against South Korea in South Africa, admitted that coaching Nigeria is no walk in the park.

雅库布在2010年南非世界杯对阵韩国队的比赛中错失了将超级鹰队送入十六强的黄金机会，他承认执教尼日利亚队绝非易事。

“Listen, it’s not easy coaching the Nigerian National Team, and that is the first thing you must know,” Yakubu told Responsible Gambling.

“听着，执教尼日利亚国家队并不容易，这是你必须知道的第一件事，”雅库布告诉负责任赌博。

“I like George because he was an unbelievable player. When I came to play with him, he and the likes of Jay-Jay (Okocha) were my seniors, but they were unbelievable. Great guys and proper Super Eagles, as we used to call them. So being a Nigerian, I’m happy he got the role.

“我喜欢乔治，因为他是一位令人难以置信的球员。当我和他一起打球时，他和杰杰（奥科查）这样的人都是我的前辈，但他们令人难以置信。伟大的家伙和真正的超级老鹰，正如我们过去所说的那样。作为一名尼日利亚人，我很高兴他得到了这个角色。

“I saw their game against South Africa, and I thought they were a bit unlucky, but he’s a great guy, and I want to send him my best wishes and hope he succeeds because if he does well, we will see the real Super Eagles. Let’s pray for him to succeed.”

“我看了他们对阵南非的比赛，我觉得他们有点运气不好，但他是一个很棒的人，我想向他致以最美好的祝愿，希望他取得成功，因为如果他表现出色，我们就会看到真正的超级老鹰。” 。让我们祈祷他能成功。”

Under Finidi, the Super Eagles are without a win in two FIFA World Cup qualifiers and are in danger of not competing on the biggest footballing stage.

在菲尼迪的带领下，超级鹰队在两次国际足联世界杯预选赛中都没有取得胜利，并且面临着无法在最大的足球舞台上竞争的危险。

Nigeria are currently 5th in their World Cup qualifying group, four points behind Rwanda, South Africa, and the Benin Republic who are level on seven points.

尼日利亚目前在世界杯预选赛小组中排名第五，落后卢旺达、南非和贝宁共和国四分，三支球队同积7分。
