Eric Chelle, head coach of Super Eagles, has addressed Victor Osimhen’s reaction after substituting the Galatasaray attacker during Nigeria’s 2-1 win over Tanzania on Tuesday.
Chelle made the change in the 86th minute of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON, opener which visibly affected Osimhen and led to questions during the post-match press conference.
Speaking on the matter, Chelle disclosed that he had already talked with the former Napoli striker.
“We talked and it will stay between him and me,” Chelle said.
“If you want more information, you’ve to tell Osimhen to ask me,” he insisted.
Meanwhile, Semi Ajayi and Ademola Lookman scored the goals for Chelle’s side against the Taifa Stars.
