Nigeria coach Jose Peseiro has admitted that he is unclear as to how Umar Sadiq has seemingly recovered from injury weeks ahead of schedule. Sadiq was due to be one of the players to lead the line for the Super Eagles at the African Cup of Nations, but Peseiro dropped him from the squad after an injury. It was thought the Real Sociedad forward would be out for around three weeks, and thus he was sent home from the African Cup of Nations in Cote d’Ivoire. Yet on Tuesday the striker played the last 17 minutes for Real Sociedad in…

Saudi Pro League club Al Etiffaq have agreed to terminate Jordan Henderson’s contract. The England midfielder is on the verge of a return to Europe – just six months after quitting the Premier League for the riches of Saudi Arabia. The former Liverpool captain will leave their training camp in Abu Dhabi and return to England, as he searches for a new club. However, Henderson is close to joining Ajax, and preparations are being made for his arrival in Amsterdam but no deal has yet been concluded. The 33-year-old was lured away from Anfield in the summer by Al-Ettifaq, who…

Equatorial Guinea extended their unbeaten record in all competitions to seven matches following a creditable 1-1 draw with traditional heavyweights Nigeria at the Olympic Stadium of Ebimpé in Abidjan. Having previously not faced each other since the Super Eagles emerged victorious in January 2018, Nigeria spurned a glorious chance to break the deadlock in the 11th minute. However, when presented with the simple task of finding the back of an empty net, Zaidu Sanusi inexplicably managed to misfire wide of the mark. Down the opposite end of the field, Equatorial Guinea had to be patient in their efforts to call…

Host nation Ivory Coast kicked off the 2024 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) with a 2-0 victory over Guinea-Bissau, meaning they have now lost just one of their previous 11 matches. For only the second time in the tournament’s history and the first since 1984, Ivory Coast are the AFCON hosts, and they were clearly eager to put on a show in front of their own supporters. They were dominant in the opening period against the African Wild Dogs, who embarked on only their fourth participation in this tournament, and the home side needed only four minutes to take the…

Cole Palmer’s penalty secured a 1-0 victory for Chelsea against local rivals Fulham as Mauricio Pochettino’s side won a third consecutive Premier League game for the first time all season. Mauricio Pochettino’s Chelsea secured only a fifth London derby victory in 16 such games thanks to a nervy 1-0 Premier League win over Fulham at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea’s last two outings formed a microcosm of their season so far. There were positive signs against Preston North End, who they dispatched 4-0 in the FA Cup last weekend, but the 1-0 defeat to Middlesbrough in the first leg of their League…

Former Super Eagles of Nigeria captain, John Mikel Obi has blamed former Super Eagles coach, Sunday Oliseh for the early retirement of goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama from the Super Eagles. The former Chelsea player disclosed this on his ObiOne podcast, as he tagged Oliseh “absolutely clueless” and “easily the worst manager he played under.” Mikel claims that Oliseh caused dissension within the national team and was the driving force behind Enyeama’s early retirement. Mikel said in his podcast, “I remember the first day he came into the camp. Then we reported to the camp for International duties, then he came straight at me…

Ivory Coast striker David Datro Fofana has joined Burnley on loan from Chelsea until the end of the season. Fofana joined Chelsea from Norwegian side Molde on a six-year deal in January 2023, and has spent the first half of the season on loan at German side, Union Berlin. The 21-year-old said Burnley will be the “perfect” club for him to progress. He added: “To work with [Clarets boss] Vincent Kompany will be very good. I have seen a couple of games already and I think this is the right place for me to make the next steps.” “We’re pleased to confirm…

The transition from football player to coach is a seriously difficult task, but several household names have made the switch look ridiculously easy through the years. There’s no hiding in football management which – forgive the cliche – is a results business. Players can be extraordinary, but to turn that talent on the pitch into a career as a leader, an organiser, a tactician and more takes another level of footballing mastermind. Let’s take a look at the footballers who found success on the touchline. Franz Beckenbauer The late, great Beckenbauer not only boasted perhaps football’s greatest nickname, but is…
