What Coach Fidelis said about Osimhen
Reacting, Fidelis Illechukwu who recently won the Nigeria Premier Football League NPFL with Rangers International opined that while the former Wolfsburg VFL forward apologise to Finidi; the NFF should also sanction him.
“Osimhen is a nobody to disrespect Finidi. As the African best player, one of our best players, he must learn to be patient and explain himself even when the world is against him,” Ilechukwu told Brila FM and was quoted by Soccernet.
“He needs to apologize. He must, because an apology is a sign of humility. It is not always good to behave like he is beyond control. who is he?
“This is a player of yesterday, who started from under-17 just talking and ranting. As far as I’m concerned, NFF should take drastic action against that kind of attitude.”

“Osimhen may just be out of his normal self to address to his coach like that. I mean, that’s not the best way to sort out issues with him(Finidi). I’m very sure he wouldn’t have minced a word if the same situation was at Napoli.
“He should immediately apologise to Finidi; that’s the only thing that will be acceptable at this point,” Mr Best said.
