Super Eagles Player Flies His Childhood Coach From Nigeria To Witness His Bundesliga Title Victory

Nigerian striker Victor Boniface has shared a heartwarming moment with his childhood coach, Coach Perez, as they celebrated his Bundesliga title win with Bayer Leverkusen.

Boniface, who finished his first season with 14 goals, flew his former coach from Akure, Nigeria, to witness the team’s coronation at the BayArena on Saturday, May 18, 2024.

The 23-year-old striker has been instrumental in Leverkusen’s success, scoring 21 goals and providing 10 assists across all competitions since joining from Union Saint-Gilloise last summer. As the team received their medals and the trophy, Boniface shared emotional photos on social media, showcasing his journey from humble beginnings with Coach Perez to his triumphant moment holding the Bundesliga title.

Boniface’s inspiring story serves as a testament to perseverance and dedication. From his early days playing in Akure to becoming a key figure in Leverkusen’s success, he has proven that hard work and determination can lead to achieving one’s dreams.

With Leverkusen preparing to face Kaiserslautern in the DFB Pokal final and Atalanta in the Europa League, Boniface may yet add more silverware to his collection. Xabi Alonso’s men are currently on a 51-game unbeaten streak, and Boniface’s contributions have been instrumental in this impressive run.

This heartwarming gesture by Boniface highlights the importance of acknowledging those who have supported us on our journey to success. By sharing this special moment with Coach Perez, Boniface demonstrates his gratitude and appreciation for the guidance and mentorship that helped shape his career.
