Super Eagles head coach Eric Chelle has revamped the leadership framework of the team, making a significant choice to incorporate Victor Osimhen into the leadership circle, as reported by OwnGoalNigeria. This decision marks a change in team dynamics and underlines the coach’s faith in Osimhen’s leadership abilities.
Osimhen’s rise to a leadership position signifies his increasing significance within the squad. The Napoli forward has been performing exceptionally well for both his club and country, and his outstanding displays have caught the attention of the coaching staff.
The leadership adjustments were influenced by the absence of Ahmed Musa and Kenneth Omeruo, who will miss the forthcoming World Cup Qualifiers. While Musa continues to be the official captain, his unavailability hints at a diminished role in the team’s quest for qualification.
