‘Osimhen is nobody to disrespect Finidi’ – Ilechukwu urges NFF to discipline Napoli star
By Saheed Afolabi
Enugu Rangers gaffer, Fidelis Ilechukwu has backed the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to wield its big hammer on Victor Osimhen over his disrespectful rant to Finidi George.
Reacting to an unsubstantiated statement from the former Eagles coach, Osimhen took to social media to vent his anger on the ex international regarding not doing his best to represent the national team.
Ilechukwu said the Napoli star is wrong for disrespecting Finidi and advised him to be patient in reacting to tumors.
The Flying Antelopes boss insisted that Osimhen must apologize and the NFF should sanction him to prevent future occurrence.
“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 was quoted by Brila FM.
“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 from 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.”
