Former Super Eagles captain and coach, Christian Chukwu, has died at the age of 74.
The football legend passed away on Saturday, though details surrounding his death are still unclear.
His longtime friend and ex-teammate, Segun Odegbami, confirmed the news in a tribute posted on X.
Chukwu captained Nigeria to its first AFCON title in 1980 and later coached the national team in the early 2000s. He also led Enugu Rangers to continental glory in 1977.
He is remembered as one of Nigeria’s greatest football icons.
