Only a few days after resigning as the Super Eagles head coach, Finidi George looks set to return to coaching once more.

In May, Finidi, who had previously been the Super Eagles' assistant and interim coach, was named head coach.

However, Finidi resigned from the Super Eagles job after a poor performance during the World Cup qualifiers.

The former Super Eagles head coach is now in line for a new coaching job as he looks to return to the NPFL.

According to reports from the Nation, Finidi is being considered by Rivers United, an NPFL team, to be their head coach.

Rivers United had a strong start to the season, making it to the CAF Confederation Cup quarterfinals when USM Alger of Algeria eliminated them.

Following a lacklustre conclusion to the season, the club's management is preparing to make changes.

For the first time in three years, they were unable to earn a continental ticket due to their poor performance in the league, finishing outside of the top spots.

Finidi might be a great addition to Rivers United given his impressive time at Enyimba, where he won the league title in just his first full season of play.

However, it is yet to be known if the club have approached Finidi for the managerial position ahead of the new season.
