Most popular ex-captain and head coach of the Super Eagles, Christian Chukwu, is dead.
He was 74.
The football legend reportedly passed away in the early hours of Saturday though the exact circumstances surrounding the situation remain unclear as of the time of filing this report.
His longtime teammate and friend, Dr. Olusegun Odegbami, confirmed the development.
Odegbami, who won the 1980 Africa Nation Cup with Chukwu, said: ‘I just received the news that between 9:00 and 10:00 this morning, “Chairman” Christian Chukwu, MFR, my bosom friend and teammate, one of the greatest football players in Nigeria’s history, has passed on’.
Born 4 January 1951, Chukwu had an illustrious career with Rangers captaining them to many laurels on the domestic football scene and led the Flying Antelopes to continental glory by winning the now rested African Cup Winners Cup in 1977.
