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.
Chelsea player Enzo Fernández is in discussions to join Manchester City. This information was revealed by Fabrizio Romano, who shared that the two clubs are discussing a potential deal.
He wrote: “Enzo Fernández has a verbal agreement with Manchester City on personal terms.
“Deal depends on club-to-club decision, as #MCFC have not sent an official bid yet, but contacts will take place soon; decision on price is up to Chelsea.
“Enzo could be out again this weekend.”
Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca mentions his captains for the team. He mentions Rúben Dias and Erling Haaland.
He shared “We have experienced players. For sure, we have leaders. Now we need to wait four or five more days until the transfer window closes to see if we can add one or two more captains to Ruben [Dias] and Erling , who at the moment are the two captains.”
Maresca confirmed the pair as part of his leadership group ahead of the 2026/27 season, with two more captains expected to be selected after the transfer window closes.
Chelsea manager speaks on the team and shares thoughts on considering a change in goalkeepers, giving another goalkeeper, Mike Penders, a chance.
“Penders is part of the squad, so he has an opportunity. We will decide and then I am giving the team tomorrow to the players, so I prefer to respect that they know first.”
