BREAKING: Victor Osimhen Dumped As Super Eagles Pick New Captain Ahead Of AFCON 2025
The Super Eagles of Nigeria have a new captain, after the recent retirements of Ahmed Musa and William Troost-Ekong.
Besiktas midfielder Wilfred Ndidi has been named as the new Super Eagles captain, and he said.
Ndidi has played stand-in captain on multiple occasions recently when Ahmed Musa and William Troost-Ekong have been unavailable. Following the recent retirements of the Kano Pillars general manager, and Al Khoolood’s defender, Ndidi has been handed the mantle of leadership.
Recall, Galatasaray’s ace striker, Victor Osimhen was tipped to become Captain of Nigeria’s Super Eagles, on Wednesday evening after the retirement of William Ekong
Ighalo maintained that Osimhen is best suited for this position.
He said:
“There are several players ahead of him (as senior players), but now Osimhen is doing well and he has the balls to demand what the team wants,” Ighalo said in an interview.
“Ndidi is not the talking type, he’s a very calm guy, but Osimhen is outspoken, he is going to speak on behalf of the team, he’s going to ginger the boys, he’s going to fight for the boys, he will speak to anybody he needs to speak to make sure they are okay.
