George turned down the chance to coach a second-tier team in Spain to return to Nigeria and lead Enyimba FC, two-time CAF Champions League winners.
He won the NPFL title with Enyimba in his second season and has put the club in a position to retain the title this season, with six games remaining.
The 52-year-old assisted Portuguese coach José Peseiro for 20 months starting in the summer of 2022.

During that time, the Super Eagles qualified for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations and, three months ago in Cote d'Ivoire, came within sight of winning a fourth African championship.
The new head coach will begin his first immediate task by getting maximum points against South Africa and Benin Republic in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying matches.
