Next Chapter: Finidi George Considered for Coaching Role Following Super Eagles Departure

Following his short-lived tenure as head coach of the Super Eagles, Finidi George could be set for a return to the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL).

His departure from the national team after only 40 days due to reported tensions with the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has opened the door for a potential club coaching role.

According to The Nation, Rivers United are considering George as their new head coach. The club is looking for a change in direction after a disappointing end to the season.

While they started strong by reaching the CAF Confederation Cup quarter-finals, their league performance faltered, leaving them outside the top spots and without continental qualification for the first time in three years.
