Finidi George Unveiled As Rivers United Coach Weeks After Leaving Super Eagles Job

A few weeks after resigning as the head coach of the Super Eagles, Finidi George has been named as the head coach of Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) club Rivers United.

Barely four days ago, Naija News reported that Rivers United are considering appointing Finidi George as their head coach after a disappointing 2023-2024 season.

Recall that in the said season, Rivers United crashed out of the CAF Confederation Cup quarter-finals stage and also finished 8th in the NPFL.

Due to the not-so-impressive-run, the former NPFL champions decided to sack their head coach, Stanley Eguma.

Earlier this week, the media officer of Rivers United, Charles Mayuku told Punch that the reports linking Finidi George and the Port Harcourt-based club were “baseless”.

“We have heard of Finidi George, we have heard of Imama Amapakabo we will soon hear of Jose Mourinho. Those are just rumours and as a matter of fact, we are resuming training ahead of next season on Wednesday,” the media officer said.

To the surprise of many, Rivers United took to their official X page earlier today, July 3, to post pictures of Finidi’s unveiling as their new head coach.
