NPFL: Rivers United assistant coach on Malabo United radar

Rivers United assistant coach, Yemi Olanrewaju, is reported to be attracting interest from Equatorial Guinean club, Malabo United.

According to reports, Malabo United are looking to restructure their technical crew ahead of the new season and they have identified the young tactician as the ideal target.

Olanrewaju is highly regarded in the domestic scene in Nigeria following stints with MFM and Enyimba.

A decision from the coach is pending as he weighs the offer against his current project with Rivers United.

The NPFL side are expected to open talks to retain the young tactician amid the approach from abroad.

Rivers United finished as NPFL runners-up in the 2025-26 season behind Rangers.

Malabo United are yet to confirm details of the offer publicly.

Both clubs are expected to provide updates once Olanrewaju makes his decision on the next step in his coaching career.
