    NFF unveils Eric Chelle as Super Eagles coach – Ravenewsonline

    Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has unveiled the newly appointed Nigeria Super Eagles Coach, Eric Chelle.

    The ceremony took place on Monday, January, 13, at MKO Abiola Stadium in Abuja.

    The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) confirmed Chelle’s appointment last Tuesday, making him the 42nd substantive head coach of the Super Eagles.

    The NFF President, Alhaji Ibrahim Gusau, expressed confidence in Chelle’s ability to lead the Super Eagles to new heights.

    “We appreciate the fact that Nigerians are very passionate about football, which is why there have been different reactions following the appointment of Coach Chelle,” Gusau said on Sunday.

    “However, the NFF appeals to Nigerians to come together and support him, as we believe he has the qualities to achieve success with the Super Eagles.”

    Gusau further assured Nigerians that the Federation would provide the necessary backing to ensure Chelle’s success.

    “The NFF will give him all the support that he needs to succeed in the job,” he added.

    Chelle’s first assignment is to lead the Super Eagles B at the upcoming African Nations Championship in East Africa next month.

    After that, the focus will shift to the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, with crucial matches against Rwanda (away) and Zimbabwe (home) in March.

    According to the statement, Chelle brings a wealth of experience to the role, having guided Mali’s Aiglons to the brink of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations semi-finals.

    He recently left his position at Algerian club MC Oran, where he had been managing the 1989 African Champions’ Cup finalists, to accept the Super Eagles job.
