Former Super Eagles Captain and Coach, Christian Chukwu popularly known as ‘Chairman’ has passed away at the age of 74.
He died earlier today, Thursday, April 11, 2025, though details surrounding his death remain unclear at the time of filing this report.
In 2021, false reports of Chukwu’s death had circulated widely, prompting the legendary coach to refute the rumors 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 was a prominent figure in Nigerian football — both as a player and as a coach. His legacy in the sport remains significant.
Chukwu was the Captain of Rangers International Football Club in the 70’s and 80’s.
