The Super Eagles of Nigeria achieved a significant historical milestone with their 1-0 victory over the Palancas Negras of Angola on Friday night. This marks the first instance where the Super Eagles have won four consecutive matches at a single Africa Cup of Nations edition without conceding a goal.

Under the leadership of Jose Peseiro, the team is poised to continue this impressive streak as they face either Cape Verde or South Africa in the upcoming semi-final on Wednesday next week.

Although the Super Eagles commenced their AFCON 2023 campaign with a 1-1 draw against the Nzalang Nacional of Equatorial Guinea, they have maintained an undefeated record since then and currently boast the most solid defense in the tournament.

With the elimination of other formidable teams such as Senegal, Morocco, Algeria, Egypt, and Ghana, the three-time champions are now considered the favorites to clinch the title.

High-ranking officials at Manchester United are expressing apprehension over the possibility of Thomas Tuchel encountering conflicts with the club’s leadership if he is appointed to replace Erik ten Hag.

Tuchel is set to depart from Bayern Munich at the conclusion of this season, a decision that was announced as early as February. Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the new co-owner, along with his INEOS associates, are reportedly deliberating on Ten Hag’s future and considering potential replacements.

Among the candidates being discussed, Tuchel, who has previously managed Chelsea in the Premier League, has emerged as a prominent name.

However, as per reports from The Times, there are reservations regarding Tuchel’s track record of disagreements with higher-ups at his previous clubs. His tenure at Mainz ended in 2014 amid disputes with directors over transfer finances, while he was dismissed from Borussia Dortmund three years later due to a breakdown in trust between himself and the club’s board.
