Former Super Eagles midfielder, Finidi George, has been appointed as the new head coach of the Enyimba football club of Aba.

The club announced his appointment on in a statement on its website on Wednesday.

The 1995 UEFA Champions League winner signed a two-year contract with The People’s Elephant, replacing Fatai Osho whose contract ended in August.

“Enyimba Football Club has appointed Finidi George as its new head coach,” the statement read.

“The former Ajax and Real Betis winger, who replaces Fatai Osho whose contract expired at the end of August, has joined the eight times Nigerian champions on a two-year contract.

“George, a legend of Nigeria’s men’s senior national team, made 62 appearances for the Super Eagles in an illustrious playing career that lasted up to fifteen years.

“He was a key member of the glorious era that won the Africa Cup of Nations in 1994 and represented the country at two FIFA World Cups – the 1994 and 1998 editions.

“At club level, George won the Uefa Champions League with Ajax in 1995 and went on to play for Real Betis, RCD Mallorca and Ipswich Town.

“His first official game as Enyimba head coach will be the CAF Confederation Cup second preliminary round fixture against Senegalese side Diambers FC in mid-October.”

Speaking with the press after his unveiling, George thanked the club for presenting him with the “great opportunity” adding that he’ll work hard and deliver positive results to justify the confidence they have in him.

“I have to say it’s a great opportunity for the club to have this confidence in me. I want to thank the chairman, the members of the board, and the supporters for even thinking about me. On my own part, I will be here to just work and do the job. It’s never going to be easy but I’m here to work and make the team win,” the 1994 AFCON winner said.
