Former Super Eagles coach, Finidi George has been appointed Rivers United’s technical manager.
Finidi who signed a two-year contract yesterday will be officially unveiled today at the Sharks Stadium according to the statement from the club.
“Rivers United Football Club is pleased to announce the appointment of Finidi George as our new Technical Manager. Finidi brings a wealth of experience and expertise to our team, having had a distinguished playing career spanning over fifteen years. His impressive credentials include winning the Africa Cup of Nations with the Super Eagles in 1994, the UEFA Champions League with Ajax in 1995, and the Nigeria Premier Football League with Enyimba International FC in 2023.
“As a coach, Finidi has demonstrated his ability to lead teams to success, and we are confident that he will bring his expertise and passion to our club. We are excited to have him on board and look forward to a successful tenure under his leadership,” the statement said.

Finidi, 53, left his role as Nigeria’s coach just a month after being appointed, following a disastrous start to the 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign.
He previously had a successful three-year spell as manager of dethroned NPFL champions Enyimba before taking up the national team job.
