The former Everton striker took to the social media to express his disappointment.

“Real change demands selflessness, long-term thinking, and building foundations that won’t produce instant rewards,” Anichebe wrote on his Instagram page.

“If we want serious outcomes, we must start having serious conversations that lead to serious decisions.”

The Super Eagles will now shift attention to the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations which will start in Morocco next month.
