In a significant move for Nigerian football, Rivers United has announced the appointment of former Super Eagles manager, Finidi George, as their new head coach. Unveiled in Port Harcourt on Wednesday, Finidi George takes the helm at Rivers United following the club’s decision to part ways with their long-serving coach, Stanley Eguma, who was sacked towards the end of the last season. This appointment marks a strategic shift for Rivers United as they aim to reclaim their dominance in the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL).

Finidi George, a former Ajax winger, boasts an impressive resume. He spent three successful years managing Enyimba, where he led the team to a title victory in the 2022/23 NPFL season. His tenure at Enyimba showcased his tactical acumen and ability to bring out the best in his players, cementing his reputation as one of Nigeria’s top coaches.

Finidi’s brief stint with the Super Eagles was marked by mixed results and controversies. Under his leadership, the national team struggled in the ongoing 2026 World Cup qualifiers, leading to criticism from fans and pundits alike. Despite these challenges, Finidi’s return to club football is seen as an opportunity for him to re-establish his coaching credentials and bring his wealth of experience to Rivers United.

Rivers United, former NPFL champions, are looking to revitalize their squad and strategies under Finidi’s guidance. The club’s management is optimistic that his expertise will lead them back to the top of Nigerian football.

Finidi George’s appointment as the head coach of Rivers United is a significant development in Nigerian football. With his proven track record at Enyimba and valuable experience with the national team, Rivers United fans have high hopes for a successful future. As the new season approaches, all eyes will be on Finidi to see how he steers the club towards new heights.
