Osimhen Excited to Train Under New Super Eagles Coach Chelle
Victor Osimhen has expressed excitement about training under the new Super Eagles head coach, Eric Chelle.
The Super Eagles are set to regroup this weekend for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Rwanda and Zimbabwe. This will be the first time most of the players will be meeting the Malian coach.
Chelle had previously traveled to Europe in January, where he met with players like Alex Iwobi, Wilfred Ndidi, and Moses Simon.
“I’ve spoken with him a few times and I understand the goals he has for the team and the players,” Osimhen told BBC Sports Africa. The Super Eagles have yet to secure a win in the qualifiers and currently sit fifth in Group C.
Osimhen stressed the importance of teamwork and determination to qualify for the World Cup. “Winning matches isn’t just about the coach. The players need to give their best, stay focused, and work together to achieve our goal,” said the Galatasaray striker.
Nigerian footballer, Ademola Lookman speaks on Nigeria’s Bronze from the Afcon game.
It can be recalled that the country won the medal after their victory against Egypt.
Lookman stated during an interview “Everyone wanted to win the gold medal. We came for the trophy, but it didn’t happen.”
“We leave the tournament with the bronze medal, and that is enough.”
Moroccan player Brahim Díaz speaks after his missed penalty that resulted in the country’s defeat to Senegal.
The player expressed how sad he was about the missed penalty and blames himself. “My soul hurts. I dreamed of this title because of all the love you guys have given me, every message and every act of support that made me feel like I wasn’t alone.”
“I gave my all, with my heart leading the way. I messed up yesterday, and I’m fully responsible for it. I’m really sorry for what happened.”
Ghanaian Referee, Daniel Laryea, who officiated the Nigeria vs Morocco game in AFCON gets interviews and shared his experience.
The referee reveals how it was his first time in a semi final and was kind of nervous. “I’ve been to three AFCON tournaments, but this is the first time I’ve been in a semi-final.”
“So when coaches choose you for that game, they know your skills and what you can do. But of course, you feel a little nervous because of the level of the match.”
