Total haos in Nigeria. The Super Eagles are currently without a coach, they are winless in their World Cup qualifications group and their best player just criticized the coach over the social media. After a humiliatin loss to Benin, the Nigerian football federation publically apologized for the result and vowed to appoint a technical advisor for the upcoming AFCON qualifiers in September.

Victor Osimhen lambastes Finidi George for singling him out for criticism. pic.twitter.com/qDH4MSoPQI— YabaLeftOnline (@yabaleftonline) June 15, 2024 “Yes, it is true. I have resigned” Finidi told Channels Television on Saturday. Around the same time, Osimhen accussed the already former coach for questioning his commitment to the side, insisting he won’t beg players to feature for the national team. Napoli striker was injured and couldn’t play for Nigeria in this round of World Cup qualifiers. “Everybody knows I play my heart out whether it is in clubside or national team. I won’t allow anybody to disrespect me. I won’t allow that nonsense. I won’t allow anyone to stain my name. I don’t care if what Finidi said is true or false. But I’ll share the video, picture, and screenshot of my conversation with Finidi on my Instagram story because some of you believe I would allow disrespect because I play football. I’ve lost respect for that man now. I spoke with Finidi requesting that I join the Super Eagles camp to be with my teammates. But he told me not to bother and that I should stay with my family – I have a video of the conversation” he said in his Instagram Live post. Nigeria apologizes to its fans, vows to appoint a technical advisorOsimhen continued that he played with injuries several times for the Super Eagles and said that „after two bad games, everybody is blaming me”. ESPN journalist Udoh contacted the Nigerian federation, who clarified that Finidi never accused Osimhen for faking injury. Udoh contacted the coach himself, who revealed that he had contacted Osimhen following the public uproar. Finidi affirmed that he never made such accusations and would have addressed any concerns privately. Will the Napoli forward apologize publicly? ##NAJAVA_MECA_8161515##
