The departure of Isaac Success from Udinese marks the end of a chapter for both the player and the club. While his time in Italy may not have been filled with numerous goals, Success played an essential role in the team, contributing with assists and offering depth to the squad. With 14 assists over three years, Success showed that he could still create opportunities for his teammates even when not on the scoresheet.

At 28, Success has the experience and the ability to make a significant impact wherever he goes next. His stint in European football, which included playing in the Premier League and La Liga, demonstrates his capability to adapt to different styles of play. However, now is the time for Success to reflect on his career and take the next step, whether that be another European club or a move outside the continent.

For Nigerian football fans, Success’s journey has been one of both promise and challenges. After a strong start early in his career, expectations were high for him to become a consistent forward for the Super Eagles. While injuries and inconsistent form have limited his impact, Success still has the talent to bounce back and prove his worth.

Looking ahead, Success will need to carefully consider his next club. A move where he can play regularly and regain his confidence in front of goal would be crucial. Whether he returns to a top European league or explores options in other markets, fans will be eager to see if he can recapture the form that once made him a rising star.
