Former head coach of Enyimba, Fatai Osho has joined Nigeria Professional Football League giant Rivers United as their new Chief Coach.
The club confirmed Osho will replace Ndubuisi Nduka who has been promoted to the role of a Technical Director by the management of the club.
Rivers United posted on their official handle saying: “We’re delighted to announce Fatai Osho has joined the club as our chief coach”.
The former Remo Stars coach spent two seasons at Enyimba Int’l, guiding the eight-time Nigerian champions to back-to-back quarter-final appearances in the CAF Confederation Cup.
After leading the People’s Elephant to a third-place finish in the 2020/2021 NPFL season, Osho’s contract was not renewed by Enyimba, who replaced him with former Super Eagles winger Finidi George.
As Chief coach of Rivers United, Osho is expected to serve as an assistant to Technical Manager, Stanley Eguma.
Osho’s first outing for his new side will be in the CAF Champions League, where Rivers United face Sudanese giants Al Hilal, who eliminated Enyimba from the competition last season.
The first leg of their first round tie comes up in Port Harcourt on Sunday, October 17.
