Osimhen returns to social media

The 25-year-old returned to social media for the first time since the rant but didn’t apologise for his actions.

He also shared a photo with former French star Louis Saha.

How Osimhen bashed George

The Nigerian striker upset many when he took to Instagram to have a go at the Super Eagles boss.

Reacting to quotes wrongly attributed to George, Osimhen stated that he never faked an injury to avoid representing the national team in the recent World Cup qualifiers against South Africa and Benin.

The quotes that Osimhen reacted to were later proven to be false.

A lengthy search was conducted to find his replacement, and the former Ajax Amsterdam man was brought in.

George oversaw two games with the side before calling it quits.

GOAL reported that he left the post because the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) wanted to bring in a technical advisor.

Osimhen’s recent rant can’t have helped matters either.
