Olanrewaju Replaces George Finidi as Enyimba FC Head Coach

Enyimba FC has announced Yemi Olanrewaju as the new head coach for the remainder of the season, succeeding Finidi George.

Olanrewaju, who previously served as Finidi's assistant, takes over after Finidi left his position last month to become the head coach of Nigeria's senior national team, the Super Eagles.

"In light of Coach George’s departure, Enyimba FC is pleased to announce the promotion of Assistant Coach Olanrewaju Yemi Daniel to the position of Head Coach until the end of the season.

"Coach Daniel has been an integral part of the coaching staff, demonstrating his commitment, expertise, and leadership qualities throughout his tenure," the Nigeria Premier Football League champions said in a statement released on Thursday.

Olanrewaju, currently pursuing his UEFA B license in Scotland, brings a wealth of experience to his new role. He has previously worked as an assistant coach with the now-defunct MFM FC and Nigeria’s U-17 team, the Golden Eaglets.

Enyimba FC is optimistic that his expertise and leadership will guide the team successfully through the rest of the season.
