Following the retirement of William Troost-Ekong, the Super Eagles have restructured their leadership.
Galatasaray forward Victor Osimhen has been officially appointed as the primary assistant captain, serving as deputy to the newly named captain, Wilfred Ndidi.
In addition to his leadership role, Osimhen will take over Troost-Ekong’s former responsibilities as the team’s designated penalty taker.
While veterans Alex Iwobi and Moses Simon remain the most senior and capped members of the squad, Osimhen was reportedly selected for the vice-captaincy due to his intense passion and commitment to the national team.
