Ex-Super Eagles coach, Finidi George bags new job

78

Rivers United have appointed Finidi George as their new head coach, according to Complete Sports.

According to reports, Finidi will be unveiled by the former Nigeria Premier Football League champions in Port Harcourt on Thursday.

Rivers United dismissed their long-serving coach Stanley Eguma towards the end of last season.

Former Lobi Stars head coach Evans Ogenyi took charge of the team for the remainder of the campaign.

Finidi spent three years at Enyimba before being appointed Super Eagles head coach in May.

He led Enyimba to win the NPFL title in the 2022/23 season.

The former Ajax winger spent about a month in charge of the Super Eagles before resigning following the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF)’s decision to appoint a foreign technical adviser to oversee him.

Rivers United finished in a disappointing eighth position in the NPFL last term.
