Nigeria 6-0 Sao Tome: As it happened

The Super Eagles of Nigeria won 6-0 against Sao Tome and Principe thanks to Victor Osimhen's hat-trick and goals from Ademola Lookman, Taiwo Awoniyi and Samuel Chukwueze. Here is how the action all played out.

The AC Milan forward gave an interesting interview before the Sao Tome match to FansTribe on Youtube, in which he noted that some of his colleagues had started to show early signs of managerial greatness.

During the interview, Chukwueze answered questions about various aspects of his Super Eagles career, giving many interesting answers to different questions, but saved the most intriguing response for a question about his teammates. 

Chukwueze predicts future Super Eagles coaches

Chukwueze was asked which of his teammates would make great coaches in future and the former Villarreal winger wasted little time before mentioning Leicester forward Kelechi Iheanacho and PAOK defender William Troost-Ekong. 

Speaking to Football Fans’ Tribe, Chukwueze said, “Kelechi Iheanacho [would make a good coach], as he always talks about football and tactics and then William Paul Troost-Ekong because he’s a leader.”

Iheanacho played under one of the great tactical minds of this generation, Pep Guardiola at Manchester City, so Chukwueze’s are within reason, while Troost-Ekong’s leadership abilities are plain to see after the Dutch-born defender was named captain during the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations.
