Eagles ouster bad news – Chukwu
Former Super Eagles manager, Christian Chukwu has described the team’s elimination at the ongoing African Nations Championship (CHAN) in Rwanda as bad news.
Eagles lost 0-1 to their Guinean counterparts, Syli Nationale in yesterday’s last group match at the Umuganda Stadium in Rubavu.
