Finidi George Eyes Return to NPFL as Rivers United’s New Head Coach.
Former Super Eagles head coach Finidi George could be making a swift return to the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) after stepping down from his national team role. The experienced manager resigned from his position with the Super Eagles after only 40 days, citing tensions with the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).
According to The Nation, Rivers United are now considering Finidi for their head coach position. The club is seeking to revitalise its management following a disappointing end to the season.
Rivers United had a promising start, advancing to the quarter-finals of the CAF Confederation Cup before being eliminated by USM Alger of Algeria. However, their league performance faltered, resulting in a finish outside the top positions and missing out on a continental ticket for the first time in three years.
The potential appointment of Finidi George is seen as a strategic move to rejuvenate the team and restore their competitive edge in the NPFL.
