Rivers State government is planning to appoint Joseph Yobo as the General Manager of Rivers United, according to reports.
The former Super Eagles captain has been tipped to replace Okey Kpalukwu as the new helmsman at the club.
Kpalukwu has held the general manager’s position for over a decade.
He led Rivers United to its first Nigeria Premier League title and also finished in the quarter-final of the CAF Confederation Cup last season.
Yobo was Super Eagles assistant coach at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon.
The former Everton defender was capped 101 times and represented the Super Eagles at three FIFA World Cups and six Africa Cup of Nations tournaments.
