Alex Iwobi’s Super Eagles Future In Doubt, Shuns Cameramen At Airport, Erases National Team Pictures

Speculation on the future of Alex Iwobi in the national team has emerged after the midfielder deleted all Super Eagles-related posts from his Instagram account, leaving fans and pundits pondering.

The fate of Iwobi in the Super Eagles was further brought into question as the team returned to Nigeria on Tuesday morning as he shunned television cameramen who approached him at the airport reception.

GWG.ng reports that the speculations came amid the disappointment of Nigeria’s defeat in the AFCON final against Ivory Coast, with the spotlight turning to Alex Iwobi.

The backlash against Iwobi has been swift and harsh, with many interpreting his social media purge as a sign of disillusionment or a potential departure from international football. The deletion of his posts has fueled rumors and speculation, adding to the uncertainty surrounding his role in Nigerian football.

Fans, accustomed to airing their opinions on social media platforms, have expressed mixed reactions to Iwobi’s actions. Some view it as a natural response to the team’s defeat, while others see it as a signal of deeper discontent or a desire for change. Regardless of the interpretation, Iwobi’s Instagram activity has become a focal point of discussion among football enthusiasts across the country.

Meanwhile, the situation within the national team is further complicated by the expiration of coach Peseiro’s contract. With his tenure officially over, the debate over whether Peseiro should stay or leave has reached a critical juncture. Supporters and stakeholders are divided over the decision, with arguments for both continuity and change dominating the conversation.

A poll currently running on GWG.ng X account gwg_ng presently shows Nigerians almost equally divided on sustaining Peserio as national coach.

As the uncertainty surrounding both Iwobi and Peseiro lingers, Nigerian football finds itself at a crossroads. The aftermath of the AFCON defeat has exposed fissures within the team and raised questions about its direction moving forward. Whether Iwobi’s apparent withdrawal from social media is a temporary response to the loss or a harbinger of more significant changes remains to be seen.

For Iwobi, the scrutiny is particularly intense, given his status as a key player in the national team. His actions – or lack thereof – are seen as reflective of larger issues within Nigerian football, including player morale and commitment to the cause. As fans wait anxiously for clarity on his intentions, the speculation surrounding his future only adds to the sense of unease within the footballing community.

Similarly, the fate of coach Peseiro hangs in the balance, with stakeholders weighing the pros and cons of retaining him. His departure would mark a significant shift in the team’s leadership, potentially paving the way for a new era in Nigerian football.

In the midst of these uncertainties, one thing is clear: decisions must be made, and the future of Nigerian football hinges on them. Whether it’s the resolution of Iwobi’s status or the appointment of a new coach, the coming days and weeks will be critical in shaping the trajectory of the national team.
