This shake-up in the Super Eagles’ leadership comes as Ahmed Musa and Kenneth Omeruo are set to miss some crucial World Cup Qualifiers.

While Musa still holds the title of official captain, his involvement in the team’s qualification efforts seems to be waning, even though he hasn’t made any retirement announcements yet.

With Musa sidelined, William Troost-Ekong is stepping up as the new captain.

Wilfred Ndidi has been appointed as his first assistant, while Moses Simon takes on the role of second assistant.
