Udinese Coach Praises Okoye After Clean Sheet Victory

Kosta Runjaic, the coach of Udinese, commended goalkeeper Maduka Okoye following the team's 2-0 victory over Genoa in Serie A. Runjaic emphasized the collective effort of the entire team, which contributed to Okoye's clean sheet during an intense match.

He noted that Genoa applied early pressure but could not maintain it, allowing Udinese to secure the win. Runjaic acknowledged the need for focus and energy throughout the match, suggesting that the team could have performed better in transitions.

Additionally, it was mentioned that Okoye would miss the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations and will not be part of the Super Eagles squad for upcoming friendly matches against Iran and Jordan in Antalya, Turkey, later this month.
