Beşiktaş midfielder Wilfred Ndidi has been appointed as the new captain of the Super Eagles, taking over the reins of leadership for one of Africa’s most successful sides.
“Wilfred Ndidi has been named Captain of the Super Eagles and says the responsibility means everything as Nigeria heads to Morocco,” a post on the Super Eagles handle on Friday read.
Ndidi’s first assignment will be leading the three-time African champions as they push for glory at the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Morocco.
To achieve that, the player knows that unity is key and is rallying his teammates to back themselves to victory in the Maghreb.
“It’s a huge responsibility, and with the help of the players, I think everything will go smoothly,” the former Leicester City player told the Super Eagles media team.
