Finidi George is expected to take over as the new coach of Enyimba, but there are few details to be sorted by both parties.
It was reported on Thursday that the former Super Eagles winger will replace coach Fatai Osho, but Enyimba is yet to make an official announcement concerning the deal.
Latest from the camp of Enyimba has it that discussion over backroom staff staffs are still on goals and that is the reasons, Finidi hasn’t been announced.
It is understood that Finidi want to come with his first assistant, but Enyimba declined.
“Finidi requested to come with his first assistant. He is not comfortable with Enyimba setting up the entire crew for him. Yes, discussion at 99% stage, just this clause delaying the official announcement.
Recalled Enyimba granted former Super Eagles Head Coach, Austin Eguaveon, the freedom to choose his assistants, he left with them after his contract was terminated.
Eguaveon’s move left Enyimba without a coach for few weeks before a replacement was named, and they not aren’t willing to repeat the same mistake.
“Finidi feels it will be a strange environment to work without a trusted assistant. Enyimba are also saying since Austin Eguavoen experience, who came with his first assistant & GK trainer but left with his crew when his contract was terminated.” Nigerian Football expert Adepoju Tobi Samuel revealed.
