Simon: Nantes Captaincy Is Non-Issue For Me

Super Eagles winger Moses Simon has disclosed that he’s not worried about the captaincy armband at Nantes.

Recall that Nantes manager Antoine Kombouaré handed the captain’s armband to Cameroonian defender Jean-Charles Castelletto for the 2024/25 season despite the Nigerian international’s consistency in the team.

Reacting to this development via the club’s website, Simon stated that he’s more concerned about helping the team to win games and not the captaincy armband.

“We are a team,” he said as per Nantes media. “It is the coach who decides. He knows why he is giving it today to JC (Jean-Charles Castelletto), who is a team leader, an international player.

“Even Pallois, Lafont, Chirivella… when you are captain of the team, you don’t do everything. We are here to play, not to be captain. There is no difference between us and JC.

“The important thing is not Simon. It’s the team. If we win or lose, it’s not Simon. It’s the team. We’re here for the good of the team. We’re together,” he reiterated.
