Goalkeeper Stanley ‘Bobo’ Nwabali will make the final cut for the 2023 AFCON with the Super Eagles, according to his coach at South African club Chippa United.
The flamboyant Chippa United coach Morgan Mammila, who was seen in social media videos dancing with visiting Super Eagles coach Jose Peserio, has backed his giant shot stopper to make the star-studded Eagles squad to the AFCON next month.
“The way Stanley plays, he is in (AFCON finals squad),” Mammila told iDiskitimes.
“I expect him to be at AFCON. The only problem is, we are going to lose Stanley. If he plays like this at AFCON, I’m telling you Stanley may not come back [from] the AFCON.”
The AFCON will provide a big shop window for the 1.96 metres tall goalkeeper and his colourful coach said Chippa will sell him for the right offer.
“Me and my friend (chairman), Chippa Mpengesi, we don’t waste time if there is an offer on the table, we allow that player (to leave),” he said.
“That’s who we are. He is a gentleman. That’s why he has allowed Morgan to coach his team.”
