‘I have reached out” – Finidi responds to Victor Osimhen public rant on Instagram

Former Super Eagles head coach, Finidi George, has openly stated his anger and disappointment after not receiving an apology from Victor Osimhen.

The disagreement started after false reports suggested that George had blamed Osimhen for Nigeria’s loss to Benin Republic, warning that he would not beg any player to accept his invitation.

In this heat, Osimnen has lashed out at George via his live Instagram session, as reported previously by Sportsbuddy, claiming that the former is a liar and saying he has nothing but utter disdain for the former Eagles’ assistant coach.

Osimhen stood up for himself, saying to them, “I called him and told him to allow me to come to the camp to be with the boys. I have all these recorded.
