The Enyimba coach had a decent month, winning three of his five league games to go second in Group A, behind Bendel Insurance.

Enyimba's first team coach Finidi George has been nominated by the League Bloggers Awards (LBA) for February's edition of the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) Coach of the Month.

An impressive month saw the former Super Eagles midfielder lead his side to second place in Group A, after three consecutive victories over El Kanemi Warriors, Gombe United and Shooting Stars.

Other nominations for the coach of the month awards featured Bendel Insurance's Monday Odigie for helping his side maintain their position at the top of Group A, as well as increase the points gap, and Lobi Stars' Mohammed Baba-Ganaru for taking his side to the top of Group B.

Odigie won the January award.
