Osimhen’s international setback sparks regret from former Reds boss, raising questions about Nigeria’s global ambitions
A former Liverpool coach has described Victor Osimhen as ‘one of the greatest ever’ and expressed deep regret over the Super Eagles striker missing out on World Cup action. The coach’s comments highlight the growing sense of what could have been for both Osimhen and Nigeria on football’s biggest stage.
Details about the specific World Cup tournament Osimhen missed, or the circumstances behind his absence, were not provided in available reports. However, the ex-Liverpool boss’s remarks underline just how highly regarded Osimhen is within European football circles and the impact his absence has had on perceptions of Nigerian football.
For Super Eagles fans, hearing such praise from a respected European coach is bittersweet. Osimhen has become a talisman for Nigeria in recent years, leading the line with goals and energy across both club and international football. His absence from the World Cup not only denied him a chance to showcase his talent on a global stage but also left many fans wondering how far Nigeria could have gone with him in attack.
No direct quotes from either Victor Osimhen or any member of the Super Eagles coaching crew were available at press time. The ex-Liverpool coach’s identity was also not specified in source reports, meaning further context on his relationship with Osimhen remains unclear.
With Nigeria now looking ahead to upcoming Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, attention will remain firmly on Osimhen’s fitness and form. Fans will be hoping he leads the line when the Super Eagles return to Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo for their next crucial fixture.

The Super Eagles faithful will be surprised as Di Maria bypasses Argentina’s football legends for a modern icon.
Argentine winger Angel Di Maria has stunned fans by revealing his favourite Argentine footballer is not Lionel Messi or the late Diego Maradona, but an ex-Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) teammate. While Messi and Maradona are widely considered the greatest in Argentina’s football history, Di Maria’s choice comes as a twist many did not expect.
According to available reports, Di Maria named a former PSG star as his top pick among Argentine players. However, the specific identity of this player and the context of his statement were not provided in the source material. There were no quotes or further details explaining Di Maria’s decision or what qualities made this player stand out over the likes of Messi and Maradona.
For Nigerian football fans accustomed to global debates about all-time greats, this revelation adds fresh fuel to conversations about legacy and personal preference within the game. Such choices from current stars often reflect unseen influences in dressing rooms and on the pitch—reminding fans that greatness is sometimes judged by those who share the field.
Neither Angel Di Maria nor any representatives from the Argentine national team had issued further clarification at press time. No statements were available from Lionel Messi or other legends regarding this selection.
With Copa America around the corner, attention will now shift to how Argentina’s current stars perform—and whether such personal preferences influence squad chemistry. Nigerian fans will also keep an eye on how similar debates shape Super Eagles selections ahead of their next Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier.
