Former Super Eagles coach, Christian Chukwu, is dead. He passed at the age of 74.
Chukwu reportedly died earlier today, April 12, 2025.
Details and circumstances of his death remained unclear as of the time of this publication
In 2021, false reports of Chukwu’s death had circulated widely, prompting the legendary coach to refute the rumours during his 70th birthday celebration on January 4, 2021.
Reacting then, Chukwu said: “I am terribly embarrassed with this news that I am dead. Several people have been calling me from across the world since the news broke. I am still investigating the source of the story.”
Chukwu, affectionately known as “Chairman,” was a prominent figure in Nigerian football — both as a player and as a coach. His legacy in the sport remains significant. [With report from Vanguard]
