Olanrewaju took the reins on an interim basis in May after his boss, Finidi George left the team for the Super Eagles job and has now been offered the role full-time.

The 32-year-old had previously worked as an assistant coach at Magate FC, MFM, and Vandrezzer before moving to Enyimba in similar capacity.
