Finidi George, who played for European clubs like Ajax, Betis, and Mallorca before he retired from football in 2004, landed his first professional coach in 2021 at Enyimba. Two seasons later, he helped Enyimba to win the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL).
While coaching Enyimba, he was also the assistant coach of Jose Peseiro in the Nigerian Super Eagles for 20 months. When the Portuguese tactician’s contract expired on February 29, 2024, the Port Harcourt-born 53-year-old tactician was named the interim coach of the national team.
