JUST IN: Former Super Eagles Coach, Christian Chukwu Is Dead

Former Super Eagles coach, Christian Chukwu, has died at the age of 74. He passed away earlier today, although the circumstances surrounding his death are still unclear at the time of this report.
In 2021, there were widespread false reports about Chukwu’s death, which he publicly denied during his 70th birthday celebration on January 4, 2021.
At that time, Chukwu expressed his disbelief, stating, “I am terribly embarrassed with this news that I am dead. Several people have been calling me from across the world since the news broke. I am still investigating the source of the story.”
Known affectionately as “Chairman,” Chukwu was a significant figure in Nigerian football, both as a player and a coach. His contributions to the sport have left a lasting impact.
Further information will be shared as it becomes available.
