Famed coach Jose Mourinho has taken issue with Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen’s behaviour during matches.
While acknowledging Osimhen’s status as one of Africa’s best footballers, alongside Mohamed Salah, due to his exceptional abilities as a forward, Mourinho voiced concerns over Osimhen’s habit of diving in critical game situations.
He warned that such actions could harm the player’s image.
Mourinho, now managing Fenerbahçe SK, urged Osimhen to adjust his conduct on the field to ensure continued success in his football career.

“He is a fantastic player, but I don’t like the way he behaves, he dives too much. I told him, ‘You and Mo Salah are the best African players.
In the past, it was Didier Drogba, Samuel Eto’o, and George Weah. You cannot behave like this.’ He dives too much,” Mourinho said, as shared on X.
After the breakdown of his transfer to Chelsea, Victor Osimhen has completed a loan move to Turkish club Galatasaray, with his salary fully taken care of.
Osimhen is aiming for a future transfer to Chelsea or another major European team, as he no longer sees a future at Napoli.
